  Richard Taylor: Instead of 21 Qh1 21 Qg2 Rxe3 22 fxe3 Re8 Nf1 seems to hold e.g. 23 ... Bh3 24 Qf2 Bxf1 25 Qxf1 f5 26 Bd2 g5 27 a4 f4 28 axb5 fxg3 29 hxg3 Bxg3 30 Qg2 Qh4 31 bxa3 Rf6 32 Qd5+ etc

Not sure if that is all sound or even valid but it seems ok

Or if 23 ... Bf3 24 Qf2 g5 25 Bd2 f5 26 a4 f4 27 axb4 axb4 28 Be1 might hold

15 Re4 is another perhaps better (more common) line - I have played that. The Marshall is difficult to defend OTB
