The Marshall Attack was introduced by Frank Marshall in a famous game against Capablanca in 1918. According to legend, Marshall saved this prepared innovation for eight years before getting the chance to play it against Capablanca. This seems unlikely, and in fact the gambit had been played earlier in a few obscure games including a consultation game in Havana, although there's no evidence that Marshall knew of these games. Capablanca weathered the Black attack and won brilliantly. Improvements to Black's play were found (Marshall played 11...Nf6 instead of 11...c6) and the Marshall Attack was adopted by top players including Boris Spassky.
New York 1918 was originally planned as an 8-player double round robin tournament. Norman Tweed Whitaker began a game a day before Round 1, became ill and withdrew from the event, leaving it as a 7-player field. New York (1924) appears to be the next international tournament that the city would see in this series. (1)
Round 1 saw the most famous game of the tournament. Marshall sprung his prepared variation of what has come to be known as the Marshall Gambit, but Capablanca wove his way through the complications at the board to win the game. Kostic drew with Chajes. In Round 2, Marshall lost to Chajes, and Marshall was never able to overcome the bad 0-2 start and catch Capablanca and Kostic. Janowski lost to the eventual tail-ender, Morrison, and this was the beginning of a lackluster result for him. In Round 4, Marshall beat Janowski, but this was a bit too late to reverse his fortunes. Kostic beat Morrison, but drew five of his first six games. Despite going undefeated in the tournament, this would not be a sufficiently fast pace to catch Capablanca, who would score a blistering 10.5/12.

To beat the Marshall without knowing the Marshall requires the ability of a Capablanca. This 12. ... Nf6 variation, largely superseded by 12. ... c6, is relatively little known, but I have just about analyzed it to death. In 1972, I, rated about 1700 at the time, pulled out 12. ... Nf6 on a master, with a rating of 2364. He didn't know the line, and I absolutely crushed him. A win over a master in a tournament game; that was the greatest moment of my life in chess. Learn 12. ... Nf6. As black, it gives you a wonderful surprise weapon with which you may beat a much stronger player who doesn't know it; as white, if you know the right lines against it, it neutralizes that weapon; with correct play by white, black can't do better than a very arduous draw.

[@thisnicklldo]

Thank you. Poor Frank Marshall - all those wonderful sacrificial ideas, he must have thought the attack was unstoppable, especially with no computers to do the hard work for him or Capa. I am still impressed by all the ideas, and Capablanca's comment before playing 9 ed5: "I thought for a little while before playing this, knowing that I would be subjected thereafter to a terrific attack, all the lines of which would be of necessity familiar to my adversary. The lust of battle, however, had been aroused within me. I felt that my judgment and skill were being challenged. I decided that I was honor bound, so to speak, to take the pawn and accept the challenge, as my judgment told me that my position should then be defensible." It is still beyond me how anybody can see, at this point, that 15. d4 is the crucial refutation. Wonderful stuff.

[@rockopolo3247]

That d4 indicates that he foresaw the necessity of an escape route and that he considered it an escape route that could not be nullified. Wish I had that insight.

[@rickrick5041]

thisnicklldo He thought for a little while. Marshall waited for 8 years

[@jimsmith3502]

thisnicklldo When playing chess there can be a perfect refutation to every move made that nullifies the attack, or the counterattack. So, therefore, by the process of survival (if, you want to call it such) it's imperative to find the most precise line of refutation. Hence, the play of Capablanca!!! Amazing!!! Intuitively and through calculaction he almost always arrived at the best lines of continuaton. When I played at an advanced stage a long long time ago I would stumble on a good or excellent move otherwise, I would lose the game. For average players that happens once in awhile or seldom, but for GM's and experts this is rather the norm!!! Supercomputers such as engines and now neural chess engines play a dance of dozens of moves where they dance around the board to reduce their opponents balance and or piece superiority positionally, either in the form of mobility or functionality.

This old version of the Marshall enabled me to have the single biggest tournament win in my life. My rating was about 1700 at the time. My opponent was rated about 2360. 12. ... c6 is too well known. But 12. ... Nf6, Marshall's original move, is obscure now--but I've played it many times. With correct play, White escapes, but one mistake and White is dead. Good as he was, my opponent wasn't familiar with the old line, and it allowed me to beat a master, rated almost 700 points higher than myself. Unfortunately, I'm a very disorganized person; I wish I still had the score, but it was in Monterey, California, in February, 1972, the best tournament in my life. I tied for the win in the tournament, with three wins and two draws (both draws against experts). I heartily recommend knowing the old 12. ... Nf6

Great video! Very nice analysis. Love Capablanca!

[@roybatty3989]

Best game I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thank you. Unreal brillance.

[@gauravjha8938]

It's insane Capablanca found such counter attacking moves over the board with the time ticking.. Marshall shouldn't have waited for a worthy opponent to test his attack.

8:10 I was thinking of Qxa8 but I figured there’s also Qxf2+ Kh1 Qxf1#.Lesson learned the most obvious moves aren’t always the best choice

[@moonboy5851]

How in the world did Capablanca calculate so far ahead. Crazy town.

[@manojbala6870]

Seeing this game for the second time. Stoked at the brilliancy of Capablanca for finding the moves to counter Marshall over the board Edit: what can I say about marshal

[@ananyayaduvanshi8341]

I really enjoyed watching this game ... Capablanca is the greatest player in The history of chess and this game is no exception to it.

[@PrathamChipkar]

@agadmator loved this game very much, and thank you for showing so many possibilities. you are really doing a great job.. cheers!

[@christospappas7233]

Great video, i am definately rewatching this.

[@terrifictamal]

*José Raul Capablanca* was Alpha Zero’s grandfather...

[@baz9628]

And to think that Capablanca preferred to play tennis !

[@chad55009]

I love your channel. Thanks for this!

[@chengzhou8711]

Capablanca, the genius.

[@sar14cos]

Wow, my god you are good, I seen and read this game analysis a number of times but your version beats them all, so succint and clear in all the variations. Ths

[@avonacolyte]

Coming back to this in 2022. Surely among the greatest games of chess ever played, and surely one of Agadmator's best videos, a masterpiece of concise and enthralling presentation.

[@ForrestRhoads]

Astonishingly beautiful game. Thank you for presenting it.

[@cadams9109]

One of your best videos

[@mysteriousdoge1298]

Marshall: - I prepered this new amazing attack for 8 years. Capablanca: - But you forgot about this move. Marshall: - Oh God, I want to die.

[@tomislavblazevic2742]

This attack looks so fun to try! great answer by Capa

[@abdullahimran4624]

Capablancas entire strategy in this game was "I won't accept his sacrifices" and that ended up working

[@walterm.robertsiiiphd2157]

Thanks for the extensive analysis.

[@Drumaier]

Oh boy what a great video!!! Because the game, the history behind, and because in my case wasnt aware of any of this, and even if not playing this opening exactly there are still a lot of tactic ideas to learn from and use in similar positions. That is why Agad you won the Internet today... Maybe even this week !!! Cheers.

[@guilhermefleckdafontoura1395]

Up for this masterpiece!

[@crazyg6219]
