The Marshall Attack
The Ruy Lopez has proved to be one of the most consistent ways of maintaining the advantage of the first move, and it is little wonder that many frustrated gambit players have been ready to chance their arms with one of the risky variations whereby Black aims to seize the initiative.
The Marshall is the best known of these counter-attacks, and it reaps a steady annual haul of victims in club and county chess. However, it rarely catches grandmasters, most of whom regard it as unsound. This week's game, taken from the 1961 United States championship, shows a typical failed Marshall.
