Description
The open lines of the Marshall (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 Nf6 5 O-O Be7 6 Re1 b5 7 Bb3 O-O 8 c3 d5) and the resulting piece play with the white king at stake make it particularly appealing to the tactical player. The active counter-attack should give Black, at worst, a balanced position and, against the unprepared opponent, opportunities for quick wins.
This volume of the Batsford Algebraic Chess Openings series presents a detailed picture of the use of the opening in contemporary practice. In line with the World Chess Federation’s (FIDE) recommendation, the universally accepted figurine algebraic notation is used throughout the book.
Condition: Very Good. Figurine algebraic notation.
