Ruy Lopez: The Marshall Attack - Chess Opening Software on DVD

The Marshall Attack is one of the most dynamic replies Black has at his disposal against 1.e4. At the cost of a pawn, Black takes over the initiative from the get-go and attacks the White King. Wrongly considered to be mainly a drawing weapon by some, this DVD offers many new ideas for Black, showing how to keep the Queens on the board and to play for a win in almost all cases.

Unfortunately White is not obliged to enter the Marshall. This is part 1 of a two part series that will provide the viewer with a complete repertoire against 1.e4. The disk deals with all White options after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0. In 17 chapters all the subtleties of the Marshall and Anti-Marshall will be revealed.
