Ruy Lopez—the Marshall Attack
The Marshall Attack is a variation that arises out of the Ruy Lopez when the bishop backs off after a6.
It goes as follows:
| 1. | e4 | e5 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | Nf3 | Nc6 |
| 3. | Bb5 | a6 |
| 4. | Ba4 | Nf6 |
| 5. | 0-0 | Be7 |
| 6. | Re1 | b5 |
| 7. | Bb3 |
Supposedly, Marc Orleans knows a nice pawn push that White can interject into this position that halts the attack. For the benefit of myself and everyone out there who reads this blog (all one of you), we would love to see it. So Marc… this is your chance to add something to the repertoire of checkers is for tramps…
