​@@inproduction7605 i dont know why the elo rating is so weird, i was once in 400 elo and 99% of players where playing like stockfish with 0 blunder and 5 briliant moves and 50 best moves. when i was 400 i just thought that i was bad but now on 700 i can see that the 400-500 range is just very weird. 50% are really bad 40% are too good for that elo and 10% are using stockfish btw if the game recognizes it you get only a refund for the lost points

[@jonaslamprecht9169]

if you know there is such a move, it becomes much easier to find.

[@ismailabdelirada9073]

Now consider this: Before he ever touched the queen, Marshall saw this idea and played for the position that would make it possible. Frank Marshall was one of the most aggressive tacticians who ever wielded the pieces. He was also the one who first invented and essayed his eponymous gambit, the Marshall Attack, against the nearly invincible world champion, Jose Raul Capablanca. Capa, who reigned from 1921-27, when he was finally dethroned by the workaholic mad genius Alexander Alekhine, knew what he was in for when Marshall uncorked his secret prepared variation -- but he took the challenge and won. But the gambit was no flash in the pan. Even though Marshall didn't succeed, the idea stuck around. With a couple of refinements over its debut, it's still played today, and I've used it successfully against an IM.
