|
| Jan-12-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: It sure was ... courageous play by black! |
|
| Sep-08-07 | | PAWNTOEFOUR: nice game!......i looked at the final position for a few seconds and then the light bulb came on |
|
| Jul-17-12 | | Abdel Irada: And *this*, Marshall Attack fans, is why 15. ♕f3 is played rather than 15. ♕e2. A nice game by Bigelow, who certainly has few enough victories to his credit. |
|
| Jan-12-13 | | IndigoViolet: Big up the Bigelow! |
|
| Dec-11-14 | | TheFocus: From a simul at the Marshall Chess Club in New York, New York on February 8, 1926. Lasker scored +24=3-3. |

 | | MissScarlett: According to Helms in <The Brooklyn Daily Eagle> of 11th February, 1926, <Defeats of Maroczy and Yates with the same variation also stand to the credit of Bigelow.> A games collection of masters mown done by the Marshall Attack would certainly make for salutary reading. |

| | MissScarlett: <Defeats of Maroczy and Yates with the same variation also stand to the credit of Bigelow.> Must be from the simuls that Maroczy and Yates gave at the Marshall CC in the wake of <New York 1924>. Yates scored +16 -6 in late April, and Maroczy, +20 -1 =7 on May 20th. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: All right, Mr. Bigelow! Way to show Frank Marshall how to play his own gambit! |
|
| Feb-27-23 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Per SF, the losing move was failing to overprotect the rook and instead playing 16 Nd2. |

 | | perfidious: Droll pun and, as astutely noted by that esteemed contributor <Abdel Irada>, an object lesson in why White plays 15.Qf3 rather than Qe2 in this original version of Marshall's creation. |
|
| Feb-27-23 | | Brenin: For the benefit of any beginners, 20 Qxe1 allows 20 ... Ng4+ 21 Kg1 (Kh1 is no better) Qxe1+ 22 Nf1 Qf2+ 23 Kh1 Qxf1 mate. |
|
| Feb-27-23 | | ajile: <Brenin:> I was looking at 20.Nf3 but Black has 20..Ng4+ 21.Kh1 (or Kg1) and 21..Rxe1 with CHECK. |
|
| Feb-27-23 | | goodevans: Nice GOTD <OCF>. Thanks. Chess opening nomenclature would normally reserve the word 'Attack' for a variation initiated by White. The 'Marshall Attack' (8...d5) goes against that principle. I'm racking my brain, what's left of it, to find another example of this (or indeed the opposite, a 'Defence' initiated by White) but have yet to succeed. Anyone know of any other examples? |

 | | OrangeTulip: In those days super grand masters did give away some games in order to be invited again, or am I to suspicious?
Second remark: Kasparov did negotiate to play only against members lower than 2200 Elo. Not for nothing |
|
| Feb-27-23 | | goodevans: Emanuel Lasker vs Horace Ransom Bigelow
Simul, 30b <1926><OrangeTulip: In those days super grand masters did give away some games in order to be invited again...> From the player biography of Horace Ransom Bigelow : "He is given credit in Lasker’s Manual of Chess for compiling the index." - That book was written in <1925>. Hmmm. |
