OhioChessFan : <Amarande> a similar move in that a major piece is left between two pawns, either of which can capture. Really, the Rf4 is in the way of your Queen, so it's more a clearance move to facilitate Qd2. Anyway, Re4 is a nice move and mate soon.

Aug-26-13 nezhtal : Qg3 is a beautiful move, as is Fischer's 17...Be6 against Byrne but I've gotta toss another hat into the ring. Rashid Nezhmetdinov's 12. Qxf6 vs. Oleg Chernikov Nezhmetdinov vs O Chernikov, 1962 is the most stunning move I've ever seen, not just because of the Queen sac but because of how deep Nezhmetdinov had to see to know there was justification for it.

Feb-08-14 PJs Studio : You're onto something with Nezhmetdinov's 12.Qxf6 nezhtal. I knew it was coming and it still made me jump (like watching a horror movie) when I saw it. Two pieces for the Queen and a God awful amount of pressure. I would never have the balls to play this move. I do know of Nezhmetdinov's work...he was an awesome thinker.

May-04-14 Lossmaster : Was 23...♕g3 really the last move played? In "Chess, A Celebration of 2000 Years", p. 194, I read this: <For better or for worse, Lewitzki decided in favor of 24.♕xg3 ♘e2+ 25.♔h1 ♘xg3+ 26.♔g1 ♘xf1 27.gxh3 ♘d2. (As Black held most of the pieces, White gave up.)> I don't know if it's a trustworthy source, though: there's a blatant mistake in the accompanying diagram, where White's Queen is printed in black!

May-04-14 RookFile : Marshall's own book ends it after ...Qg3. It really doesn't matter what anybody else said.

Sep-10-14 Ke2 : how many Marshall freakin Gambits are there??

perfidious : Besides all the gambit lines bearing Marshall's name, he had a go at the Modern Benoni, something sharper still than most of his gambits: Capablanca vs Marshall, 1927.

Nov-04-14 1 2 3 4 : The move wasn't necessary, but it was brilliant.

May-12-15 tanu123 : very very very beautiful!!!!!!!!

Jun-28-15 Ferari : 23...Qg3 is a cute move, but the move is way over-rated. Black also has other wins, such as 23...Qe3. Black can also win by interposing the move order with 23...Ne2+, 24. Kh1 and then 24...Qg3. Also, black can even win in a boring fashion with 23...Qb2, 24.Rc7 Ne2+, 25. Kh1 Rh6, 26. c3 Rg6 etc. Black is up a whole piece, and white has zero compensation!

Jun-29-15 Ferari : Actually the interposition of 23...Ne2+ only leads to a small advantage for black. However, black actually has no less than (5) clear wins, from the key position after 23.Rc5. Black easily wins, with a piece up, with either 23...Qe3, 23...Qb2, 23...Qa3, 23...Qb4, or Marshall's pretty move 23...Qg3! A pretty move, but not a great problem, since black is a piece up, and has (5) clear, and easy ways to win.

Feb-29-16 socratos : what a finish that is. wonderful!

Mar-26-16 SimplicityRichard : A brilliant move that perhaps inspired another:

(Nicolas Rossolimo v. Paul Reissmann 1967).#

thegoodanarchist : Black's knight on d4 is one of the most well-placed knights in the lore of chess, it seems.

Nov-27-16 The Kings Domain : Astonishing game. This is probably the only game in the history of Chess where an unexpected move could be so final and decisive where the losing side has several options to consider all leading nowhere.

Nov-27-16 Howard : That statement is rather debatable, in my view. There are many other games where the winning move was comparable to that one. Not only that, wouldn't

24...Ne2+ have also won, too? Either move wins-it's largely a matter of taste. Karpov, no doubt, would have played the simplier move.

Dec-17-16

kamalakanta : Here is another game that has a similar Queen move to end the game! Bronstein vs Geller, 1961

Sally Simpson : ***

Horowitz liked this game.

In his 1958 book 'All about Chess' which is a collection taken from his chess column in the Saturday Review he gives this game twice (pages 63 and 150) In both cases Horowitz adds that Marshall's wife. Caroline, debunks the shower of gold story. ***

Dec-18-19 Chesgambit : Qh5?? black to play and forse varition

Dec-19-19 Chesgambit : knight + rook windmill

Apr-05-20 MordimerChess : Frank Marshall: "Perhaps you have heard about this game, which so excited the spectators that they 'showered me with gold pieces!' I have often been asked whether this really happened. The answer is - yes, that is what happened, literally." It's also interesting how Frank Marshall play Sicilian Defense against 1. d4 hahahaha :D Improvements:

Enjoy the game and thanks for support.

Bishoprick : You might want to look at Nicolas Rossolimo vs Paul Reissmann. Before Reisman's resignation, Rossolimo leaves his queen "en prise" three different ways, any of which will lead to Reisman being mated.
