| Anyi: To all Marshll fans! I'm intending to write a short story featuring Carrie Marshall. If someone knows a good site to find out more about her, I'd be really thankful.
You are also invited to contribute a little biography of Marshall (or your other favourite player) to my website on Rubinstein (see Colleagues). Its address is: http://rubina.yfw24.de/
Contact me via E-mail or, if you are reluctant to disclose your e-mail address, via the guestbook! Looking forward to hearing from you!!

| Karpova: C.N. 5778
Frank J. Marshall's son Frank Rice Marshall (born 1905.12.28). Frank and Carrie decided to travel to Ostende 1907 together with their son (page 16 of "My Fifty Years of Chess" by Frank J. Marshall (New York, 1942): <‘Carrie and I decided that we would go abroad together and take Frankie along, although he was only 16 months old.’>). A bit more on Frank Rice Marshall:
Edward Winter: <Page 5 of the January-February 1945 American Chess Bulletin presented him in army uniform (and stated that he had served in France as a corporal in the Signal Corps and that ‘he weathered three of the major campaigns with Gen. Patton’s army’).> Source: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/.... |

| arthurp: I don't see this mentioned but I believe that Frank Marshall's son was murdered and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this.Thought I read this long ago in a Larry Evans column. |

| AgentRgent: <Cactus: Is it just me or does he look exactly like James Cromwell?> It's not just you! Now I just need to find investors to make a movie about Marshall so I can cast Cromwell! |

| DarthStapler: Marshall's games are some of the most entertaining to go over |

| chocobonbon: I've made this point before: In "Combinations, the Heart of Chess" Chernev quoted Fine as saying "I've never met anyone, not even Alekhine, who had a keener eye for the purely combinative in chess." I submit that "purely combinative" is not synonymous with "tactics". Tactics is knowing what to do with combinations. Marshall's combinational ability allowed him to be a good swindler but his limited tactical & positional skills put him several shades below any World Champion IMHO. I love his games but I don't trust them. |

when i clicked on this, i was surprised to see that the Marshall Attack in the Ruy Lopez was not included in the list of Marshall Gambits, and that there were in fact three of these, independent of the gambit in the Spanish! |

'When the Palestine team played the USA (in the 1935 Chess Olympiad) it was the late David Enoch 's turn to play Frank James Marshall . He played well and had a considerable advantage (two pawns) and was sure he would win easily. I remember that during the adjournment I warned Enoch to be careful, precisely because he has the advantage, for he is playing the <king of swindlers!>. And indeed, what I feared happened... one inaccurate move was enough for Frank James Marshall to pull out of his sleeve a counter-combination and draw the lost battle. You should have seen the old man's joy after saving the draw; it was as if he had won.' (p.53, "History of Chess", 1963 by Moshe Czerniak) * Addendum (tournament review):

| Richard Taylor: Yes. The King of Swindlers ! A good story! To swindle you need imaginative and combinative capacity. I have been playing over Tarrasch's games - he played many very fine and combative and instructive games. Many were quite beautiful also. |

 |
| percyblakeney: David Enoch of the above anecdote did have quite good results for such a forgotten player. He isn't included at Chessmetrics, his game against Marshall seems to have disappeared, and there are no games of his after that Olympiad, where he drew Marshall, Najdorf and Lilienthal (#10 at Chessmetrics), and won against among others Grob, Opocensky and Thomas |
|

|
| percyblakeney: Enoch apparently played very little but drew Bogo in 1927 (after missing a win), when Chessmetrics have him as #1. |

| WhiteRook48: He also made a Marshall Gambit in (D00) queen's pawn game |

| visayanbraindoctor: Here are Marshall's wins WITH the Petrov. If one wants to see wild attacking games from the Black side of the Petrov, here they are galore. Yet many of these also testify to Marshall's skill as an endgame player. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: Is it just me, or does Marshall look a lot like James Cromwell? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000342/ |

| square dance: i always thought so. |

|
| Arthur.J.Fizelbotom: I just realized that <Cactus> posted almost the same comment a few months back... apologies, I really should start reading previous posts. |

| AnalyzeThis: Marshall was a profound thinker, well ahead of his time. The Marshall variation of the Ruy Lopez alone makes him worthy of this praise. But his method of playing the Petroff with black was also fascinating. |
|

| The Rocket: marshall was one of the most entertaining players, almost all his games are fun because he has a ton of nice tactical traps in almost every one of them! |
