  Chessical: An extremely theoretical game. Adams follows existing Marshall Attack theory until <23...Qxg2+>. Previously <23...f5> was played.

<23...Qxg2+> does not seem to be any improvement on previous play, and may be worse. It seems that Adams is fighting for a draw after the exchange of Q's.

Is <37.Ra7> worth a try?

Oct-08-05  csmath: Marshall gambit proves its drawishness one more time.

This is not something Judit should be playing against elite player if she wants to win. One of the strategic anti-Marshalls is certainly better choice.

Dec-12-05  babakova: I read somewhere that 8.c3 is one of the biggest weaknesses in the top hungarian players repertoire, Almasi,Leko,Polgar... They all play it exclusively. As a result they more often than not run into the marshall gambit.
Dec-12-05  KingG: The anti-Marshalls are quite drawish as well. It could be that in a few years time, if you want to play for a win with White, you'll have to avoid the Ruy. The Petroff is already making 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 quite drawish anyway.
Dec-12-05  babakova: Absolute top chess is drawish overall but I would say that in <2600 chess there is plenty of room to play pretty much any opening.
Dec-12-05  KingG: <babakova> Yes, of course. I was talking about 2650+.

  plang: 15 Be3 is not played as much as it used to be as it is no longer considered to be dangerous for Black. 23..f5 had been played in the draw I.Gurevich-Benjamin New York 1992, 23..Qxg2+ was new. Shipov offered the line 29 Kxg3?..Rg6+ 30 Ng5..h6 31 Kh4..Bd1 32 Nh7..Kxh7 33 Rxf8..Rg2! 34 Rf7..Kg8 35 Rf5..Bc2 36 Re5..Kh7 37 Re7..Rxf2.
