Santasiere - Marshall [A10]
New York, 1941
| Well, there comes a surprise - and not a little one.
A gentleman, who is the author of the Spanish Marshall Attack, is - to
our (today's) knowledge - the forefather of my variation. It is true
that he reached the key position in a way that was not sound but from
then on he demonstrates a model of how a real chessplayer attacks. |

1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 e5?! 5.d4?!
White does not take the possibility of playing a fine
deviation here, so the game goes along the main lines.
Instead it was possible to play 5.Nxe5 Nxe4 6.Nxe4 Bxe5 7.d4
Bg7 8.Bg5 f6 9.Be3± d5 10.cxd5 Qxd5 11.Nc3±
5...exd4 6.Nxd4 0-0 7.Be2 Re8 8.f3 c6 9.Nc2 d5!
10.cxd5 cxd5 11.Nxd5 Nxd5 12.Qxd5
12...Qc7!?
Sure, this is the best continuation as later games confirmed
as well. White's position looks solid, but not for long.
12...Qh4+ 13.g3 Qf6 14.Rb1
(14.Bg5 Qxb2 )
14...Nc6 15.Bg5 (15.a3 Be6 16.Qb5 Qe7 with
compensation) 15...Qe6 16.Qxe6 Bxe6 17.b3 f5
with compensation;
12...Qxd5!? ∞ was

Adorján, Rubinstein Memorial, 1970!
13.Qc4 Nc6 14.Ne3 Be6
Only a very few moves were needed to demonstrate the
strength of Black's initiative.
15.Qc2

15...Be5 16.g3
16.Bd2 Bxh2
16...Bxg3+!?
Frank Marshall does not hesitate; if he can - he will
sacrifice. Still there were at least two ways of continuing the attack
quietly:
16...Rad817.0-0
Qb6; or
16...Qb6 17.Kf2 Nd4 18.Qd1 Rad8 19.Bd3 Rd7
17.hxg3 Qxg3+
18.Kd1?
But this is truly a mistake! The other king move isn't
tempting looking either, but the reality is quite different:
18.Kf1 Nd4 19.Qd1 Rad8 20.Bd2 Bh3+
21.Rxh3 Qxh3+ 22.Kf2 Qh2+ 23.Ng2 Qe5 (23...Qc7 24.Kf1 Qb6 with
compensation) 24.Bf4 Qc5∞
(24...Qf6 25.Qd3 Qb6)
18...Rad8+ 19.Bd2 Nd4-+
There was even a choice - when the king is in the centre of
the board it's always dangerous:
19...Qf2 20.Qc3 Nd4 21.Re1 Nxf3 22.Nd5
Nxd2 23.Qxd2 (23.Nf6+ Qxf6 24.Qxf6 Nxe4+ -+)
23...Bxd5 24.exd5 Re5 25.d6 Qg2 26.Bd3 Rxe1+ 27.Qxe1 Qxb2 28.Rc1 Qd4 29.Qg3
Rxd6
20.Nf1
20.Qd3 Nb3 (20...Nxf3!?
