Marshall, Frank - Blackburne,
Joseph H [A43-b] ENG-USA cable
m England (1), 1909
[Chess-Theory]
X0 1.d4 X1 c5 X2 2.dxc5 X3

This move is played here for the first time. ECB (ECO Codes Base) Classification: [A43-b].

2...e6 X4

The Marshall' s retort and also the Blackburne' s answer know today a new success, but not at the top level.

3.Nc3! X5

This Developing Move (DEVM:) is a better answer than trying to conserve the pawn.

[ Effectively Is not clear: 3.b4?! X6 a5 X7 but White incurs also a little advantage after: 4.Nc3 X8 axb4 X9 5.Ne4 X10 d5 X11 6.cxd6 X12 f5 X13 7.Nd2 X14 Bxd6 X15 8.Nc4! X16 Be7 X17 +/=; As a recent example we may quote: 3.Be3 X18 Na6 X19 4.c4 X20 Nxc5 X21 5.Nc3 X22 b6 X23 6.b4 X24 Na6 X25 7.a3 X26 Bb7 X27 8.Rc1 X28 Nf6 X29 9.Nf3 X30 Be7 X31 10.g3 X32 0-0 X33 11.Bg2 X34 d5 X35 12.cxd5 X36 Nxd5 X37 13.Nxd5 X38 Bxd5 X39 14.0-0 X40 Qb8 X41 +/= Gutman, Lev (2465) - Legmann, Holgen (2196) A43 (45) 1-0, Muensterland op, 2005]

3...Bxc5 X42 4.Ne4! X43

With a double control on the d6-square.

4...d5 X44 5.Nxc5 X45 Qa5+ X46 6.Bd2 X47 Qxc5 X48 7.Bc3 X49 Nf6 X50 8.e3 X51 Nc6 X52 9.Bxf6! X53

The best choice!

[ Black has an interesting game after: 9.Qd3?! X54 e5 X55 10.Rd1 X56 0-0 X57 11.Ne2 X58 Be6 X59 12.a3 X60 Ne4! X61 =/+]

9...gxf6 X62 10.Qd2 X63 e5 X64 11.Ne2 X65 Be6 X66 12.Ng3 X67

Controling a first time the f5-square.

12...0-0-0 X68 13.Bd3 X69 Rhg8 X70 14.0-0 X71 f5 X72 15.c3 X73

[ May be considered: 15.Bxf5! X74 Bxf5 X75 16.Nxf5 X76 d4 X77 17.e4 X78 Kb8 X79 18.a3 X80 Na5 X81 19.b3 X82 +/- with a significant White advantage.]

15...Qe7?! X83

Through this move, it is not easy to perceive Black' s intentions.

[ Perhaps better is: 15...e4!? X84 16.Be2 X85 Kb8 X86 17.Nh5 X87 h6 X88 18.Nf4 X89 Ne5 X90 19.Rad1 X91 Ng6 X92 20.Nh5 X93 =/unclear]

16.Bb5 X94 Rd6 X95 17.Bxc6 X96 bxc6?! X97

Now Black has a Bad Pawn-Structure (BBPS:), but a strong concentration of pawns on the center. By the way, the Black King is not safe, because there are lines of attack on him.

[ After foreseeable moves: 17...Rxc6 X98 18.f4 X99 e4 X100 19.Ne2 X101 h5 X102 20.Nd4 X103 +/= Black has any interesting perspectives.]

18.f4! X104 e4 X105

Black has a Bad Bishop (BABI:).

19.Qd4 X106 f6 X107 20.Rf2 X108 Rd7 X109 21.b4 X110 Rb7 X111 22.Rd1 X112 Rg6 X113 23.Rc2 X114 Kb8 X115

A necessary Prophylactic Move (PROM:).

24.a3 X116 Qf8 X117 25.Ne2! X118 Rbg7 X119 26.Nc1 X120

The White Plan (PLAN:) is to attack on the Queen-side, whereas the Black one is clearly a direct attack against the White King via the open g-file.

26...Qg8 X121 27.Rdd2 X122 h5 X123 28.Nb3! X124 +/- 28...h4 X125 29.h3 X126 Rg3 X127 30.Kh2 X128 Qf7 X129 31.Qc5 X130 Bd7 X131 32.Qd6+ X132 Kc8 X133 33.Nd4 X134

The White Knight is Stronger than the Black Bishop (NSTB:).

33...Qe7 X135 34.Qxe7 X136 Rxe7 X137 35.Re2 X138 Kc7 X139 36.c4! X140

A typical Break Move (BREM:) giving to White a good initiative.

36...Kd6 X141 37.c5+ X142 Kc7 X143 38.b5 X144

[ After: 38.a4! X145 a6 X146 39.b5 X147 cxb5 X148 40.c6 X149 Bc8 X150 41.axb5 X151 Re8 X152 42.bxa6 X153 Bxa6 X154 43.Re1 X155 White has a winning game.]

38...Rh7 X156 39.Rc3 X157 Rg8 X158 40.bxc6 X159 Bxc6 X160 41.Nxf5 X161 Rb8 X162 42.Rd2 X163 Rb1 X164 43.Nd4 X165 Rh8 X166 44.Rf2 X167 Rd1 X168 45.f5 X169 Ba4 X170

The Black Bishop begins to play... But it is too late.

46.Rf4 X171 Kb7 X172 47.c6+ X173 Kb6 X174 48.c7 X175 Rc8 X176 49.Rf2 X177

With the idea: Rb2+; a very Constraining Move (COM:)

49...Rb1 X178 50.Ne6 X179 Bb3 X180 51.Rf4 X181 Bc4 X182 52.Rxh4 X183 Rf1 X184 53.Rc2 X185 Rb1 X186 54.Rh6 X187 Rb3 X188 55.Rxf6 X189 Rxe3 X190 56.Rb2+ X191 Kc6 X192 57.Rb8 X193 Rxc7 X194 58.Nxc7+ X195

Let us notice here the exceptional 10 moves White Knight Travel (10NT:): g1-e2-g3-e2-c1-b3-d4-f5-d4-e6-c7.

58...Kxc7 X196 59.Rg8 X197 Bb5 X198 60.Rg7+ X199 Kd8 X200 61.Rf8+

On this move Black is Mate in 4 (MAI4:).

1-0
