I love chess - it's really as simple as that!

I have been working on an e-book on the Marshall Attack for almost a year now.
It’s really beginning to look very good!
Currently I am adding video highlights to the book and also updating with the newest games played by the top GM’s.
I enjoy it very much and I do believe that the book will be very useful for black players up to around 2200 ELO level who want to play and understand(!) the Marshall Attack against the Ruy Lopez.
This is the famous game where Marshall played his Marshall Attack for the first time in serious competition.
Capablanca took the challenge over the board by accepting the pawn.
Marshall played very agressively, but Capablanca was able to find all the right answers to Marshall’s threats.
Marshall may have been frustrated that Capa did so well, but the chess world noticed the ideas behind the Marshall Attack and this opening is still played by a lot of top players today!
So although losing this game, Marshall had invented something still of value almost 100 years later!
Watch all the interesting ideas of Marshall and the immaculate defence by Capablanca!
In this game from an exhibition match against an amateur player Capablanca plays a very questionnable bishop sacrifice. This happens every day all over the world whe a strong player meets a weaker one, you might argue. And true that is.
But this game has been regarded one of the Capablanca classics - is that fair, considering the quality?
Judge for yourself…
This exciting game is from Havanna 1913.
And again, Capablanca is up against Juan Corzo.
It’s a game full of interesting ideas and tactical subtleties.
A must see!
My first video on Capablanca is a game from 1901. Capablanca being only 12 years old.
The young Capablanca was playing a match against the cuban champion of that time, Juan Corzo, and Capa won the match!!
This is game 11 from that match…
My fifth video in the series on the exchange sacrifice is dealing with the thematic exchange sacrifice in the sicilian dragon. It’s an important attacking idea to know ifyou play against the dragon.
This video is an analysis of the game Seirawan-Kozul from Wijk An Zee 1991.
It includes a very atypical exchange sacrifice and some very interesting strategical ideas.
The third video in my series on the exchange sacrifice is an analysis of the game Spassky-
Petrosian, game 7 of their 1966 world chess championship match.
Please enjoy this chess classic!
This is the secon video in my series on the exchange sacrifice.
This time I have chosen 3 instructive examples from Petrosian’s games.
This is my first video on the exchange sacrifice.
I plan to do a series on the subject. Stay tuned…
