1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5. Nf3 Be7 6. e3 O-O 7. Rc1
{Marshall abandons his favorite variation Qc2.} Re8 {Janowsky also
changes c5, played in the earlier games.} 8. Bd3 dxc4 9. Bxc4 a6
{Janowsky's favorite manoeuvre, which might have been expected.
Therefore Marshall could have played cxd4 previous to Bd3.} 10. O-O {a4
would have prevented the Bishop being dislodged; but as he manages
eventually to prevent Black from keeping the majority of Pawns on the
Queen's side, there is nothing to be said against it--except that he
only keeps about an even game.} b5 11. Bd3 Bb7 12. Qe2 c5 13. dxc5
{This is compulsory, because of the threat c4, followed by b4.} Nxc5 14.
Bc2 {Bb1 might be followed by b4, when Qe1 would take up the place
which the R at f1 intends to occupy; but the move would have been
better, nevertheless.} Nd5 15. Bxe7 Qxe7 16. Nxd5 Bxd5 17. b3 Rac8 18.
e4 Bb7 19. b4 {It is doubtful whether the advance might not have been
dispensed with, because of the threat Nd7, Nb6, and Nc4 eventually. But
Marshall plays still for attack, not content with a draw in an even
position.
