| Aug-30-04 | | azaris: Speaking of Marshall, here's a recent game of mine that begins as the Marshall Variation of the Scandinavian and ends up in a Marshallesque combination. Granted Black was about 400 points lower rated and played horribly, but the satisfaction of playing 25. ♖xe6+!! alone was worth it: [White "azaris"]
[Black "suryahbt"]
1. e4 d5 2. d4 Nf6 3. exd5 Nxd5 4. c4 Nf6 5. Nf3 e6 6. Nc3 Nc6 7. Be2 h6 8. O-O Ne7 9. b3 c6 10. Bb2 Ng6 11. Ne5 Nxe5 12. dxe5 Nd7 13. Ne4 Be7 14. Nd6+ Bxd6 15. exd6 c5 16. Bxg7 Rh7 17. Bc3 h5 18. Bd3 Rh6 19. Bg7 Qg5 20. Bxh6 Qxh6 21. Re1 Qf6 22. Qxh5 b6 23. Be4 Rb8 24. Bc6 Bb7 25. Rxe6+ Kd8 26. Rxf6 Nxf6 27. Qh8+ 1-0 |

 | | tpstar: <azaris> Beautiful game! Great way to exploit Black's lagging development, and 25. Rxe6+!! was sparkling. You must be a BDG fan (2 ... de 3. f3) which most Scandinavian proponents might not know too well. Black should have tried 5 ... Bg4 and/or 6 ... Bb4/Be7 to get his pieces out. Nice win. |

| Sep-14-04 | | benderules: there was a famous game after that the crowd throws golden coins, probably you have talked about that 1000 times or so but can anybody tall me what was that game? (apologizes for my bad english) |

 | | offramp: This is the game: S Levitsky vs Marshall, 1912.
At the end of the game a collection was taken up for Mr Marshall. A hat was passed around among the spectators. |
|
| Sep-15-04 | | benderules: ok, thanks folks |

| May-17-05 | | The Bloop: Marshall discovered the Marshall Gambit, an intricate line of play in the Ruy Lopez, in or about 1908... he waited for TEN years before he played it publicly... it was much too good to use against ordinary masters, whom he might beat anyway, but he met Capablanca in the New York Tournament of 1918, and this is when he unleashed it... Capa ended up winning the game anyway... Marshall figured that this was the perfect time to use it since: (1) Capa favored the Ruy Lopez as White and (2) the trappy play eminated from the Black side. This is the link to the game I just referenced...

| May-17-05 | | iron maiden: Some versions of the story say he saved the idea up for ten years, but it's always seemed like a gross exaggeration to me. |

| May-18-05 | | The Bloop: <iron maiden> Some versions of the story say he saved the idea up for ten years, but it's always seemed like a gross exaggeration to me. Could very well have been an exaggeration ... I've read probably 3 or 4 books that used a figure of approx 10 years, but there is certainly a lot of "embellishing" of stories in chess books...and of course, they all could have used each other as their sources... But regardless of how long he saved the idea, I'm amazed when I think about the old time chess masters, sitting over a board, playing different variations, and then resetting the pieces MANUALLY, then playing other variations... nowadays, you just "click" back to whatever starting position you want on the moves list, and play a different variation if you like...the computer will keep track of them all... |
|
| May-18-05 | | Resignation Trap: Marshall played "his" gambit one year earlier: W Frere vs Marshall, 1917 . Marshall had numerous opportunities to try a Ruy Lopez vs Capablanca since their 1909 match, but Marshall usually tried Petroff's Defense. Here's an earlier game with the ...d5 gambit theme: Taubenhaus vs Chigorin, 1905 . |
|
| May-18-05 | | Calli: <RT> Exactly, the whole 10yr thing is another chess myth. |
|
| Jun-01-05 | | WorldChampeen: An interesting match would be Hanna Sherif Vs. Frank James Marshall ; Even Festus Hagen might like that one. |
|
| Jun-07-05 | | Jamespawn: Who Hanna Sherif is? |
|
| Jun-08-05 | | RookFile: Maybe Marshall had an idea about
...d5 in the Ruy Lopez, but wanted
more time to work it out further. |
|
| Jun-09-05 | | ttr2121: Festus Hagen? What about Marshall Dillon? |

| Jul-02-05 | | babakova: <azaris :Granted Black was about 400 points lower rated and played horribly, but the satisfaction of playing 25. Rxe6+!! alone was worth it:> I would give the move a "!" if even that...exclams: How they erode the innocent soul of the amateur, removing all hope of allowing
him to examine another player's ideas critically!" -- Tigran PETROSIAN |

| Jul-04-05 | | WarehouseMan: Whenever I see this picture of Frank Marshall, I think of the actor James Cromwell! Marhsall totally looks like the cop he plays in L.A Confidential... http://images.google.com/images?q=J... |
|
| Jul-04-05 | | Giancarlo: Undoubtedly, the #1 game by Marshall and first on the notables:
S Levitsky vs Marshall, 1912 |

 | | chancho: I find so interesing the riddle of certain match ups. Like Ali knocking out Foreman. Frazier beating Ali, Foreman destroying Frazier, and Norton in two rounds. And Norton breaking Ali's jaw.In Chess we have Capa sweeping the floor with Nimzo. Marshall unable to beat Alekhine, but handling Nimzo, and even got to beat Capa a few times Tartakover could never beat Capa, but defeated Alekhine a couple of times.Spielmann could not beat Alekhine but had success against Capablanca. There will always be someone,who can beat another.No one can truly be unbeatable. |
|
| Aug-14-05 | | Robin001: Is there a reason his game against Levitzky is not listed here? Was it not in this game he played the brilliant move Qg3 and the spectators showered his board with gold pieces?? |
|
| Aug-14-05 | | iron maiden: It's right at the top of the list. S Levitsky vs Marshall, 1912 |
|
| Nov-10-05 | | paladin at large: Is there a Marshall scholar in the house? I do not have a book on or by Marshall and would be interested in his version, or a report, of how exactly his famous 1918 Marshall attack game with Capablanca ended. (There are at least three different accounts in the literature as to when Marshall resigned, or was mated.) Beyond that, is there a good book about his life and games? Appreciate any help. |
|
| Nov-10-05 | | whiskeyrebel: I recently read the Soltis biography and game collection and was very entertained. Even though Soltis clearly grew up in Marshall's old stomping grounds he remained objective I thought. It's a pleasant read..it seemed at times like Andy was right there with me puffing on his pipe spinning insider yarns about old Frank. |

| Nov-10-05 | | aw1988: <it seemed at times like Andy was right there with me puffing on his pipe spinning insider yarns about old Frank.> Ah! Did you have a good time co-authoring the book? |
