May-07-04  AgentRgent: I'd like to dedicate this game to my son Marshall Aron, due in Sept.
May-08-04  Lawrence: <AgentR>, are you dedicating the game to your son or your son to the game? :-)
May-10-04  AgentRgent: LOL! The former for now, we'll see about the latter later.. ;-)
Jul-11-06  RookFile: This was a good game, ingenious play from both sides.
Jul-02-18  goser: Marshall should be given credit for his tough resistance. After move 30, one could think that the game would not last long.

  kingscrusher: Marshall seemed to be technically equal after some inaccuracies from Nimzovich and at move 50.Nd8 seems to be a good idea:

(Gavriel, 24.12.2023)

The knight can sometimes head for the f4 square
e.g. 50...f5 51 Nf7 h5 52.Ng5 Kd4 53.Nh3 and Black should be fine - no stranded knight issue.
