[b]Bleckk...the Paulsen is for sissies....🙂So you think Marshall was a sissy huh? by playing d5 early? It is a funny comment 🙂 I just laugh at it.
how can this line be sissy?
***1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3.d4 d5***
please explain if you know, it often leads to a tremendously open game for black if white is refusing to play e5 to transpose into french defense of Nimzovich variation.
Paulsen Variation of the Sicilian is just too complex and it can transpose into many interesting positions (including both open and closed as players prefer)
But still, Najdorf kicks asss!

I think White get an awesome position with a huge lead in development after exd5. I will post some analysis of what I was looking at if you wantYou dont even need to think for that, that has been thought before. It is a gambit opening as clear as it is.
And I have analyzed it right to the end black loses the game😛
How can black play d5 that easily? That doesnt make sense and any logic, you do not need to prove me that. Because black's main problem in sicilian is that he cant play d5 early right? If he gets that move easily like that, there is no need to play chess 🙂
I think it was misunderstood😞
I just meant it is a crazy line with crazy opportunities for both and still it is not that bad to play the Marshal Gambit in Sicililan, I insist it can be played easily against anybody rated below 1600. There is no danger involved I promise, I really analyzed it since I have played it countless times. And most people do not play exd5 right away trust me. Because when you have the balls to play d5 in that position, your opponents fear from you in Over the Board play and they refuse to open the game right away. Just try it once and you will see what I mean!
because he just plays d4 to open up and you simply say ''You wanna open up, welcome let's open up from here too'' LOL,
And they seem to fear and play e5 or something else. Not all people find excellent exd5! and not all people can play accurately in open positions! and not everybody prefers to open up the game crazily like that in move 3!
It is a different opening to be tried against beginners who are afraid of you and you know they will close up the game.😉

While we're on the subject of other variations, what do you all think of the Nimzowitsch variation (1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6!?) ?
Also Botvinnik is a smart man, as Karpov is great
but Nimzowitsch and his variations simply I do not like! There is no taste I can get from it, just for little girls who wants to hide behind the pawns.
This was all joke, he is ok but his variatians really give me a lot of trouble, I seem to get frustrated when I play against French and all that close Nimzowitsch variations 😀😀😀
Let's talk about dragon or something!

While Marshall was a strong player he was not a super GM. Marshall also played 1. e4 c5. 2. b4 .... ? Super GMs too me are Players like Fischer, Botvinnik, Alekhine, ect. I doubt I could play that Paulsen variation. I like the Najdorf, but I am not strong enough to play it well.

Here's a great game using this line, where black had prepared a dangerous looking sacrifice, but Spassky found the refutation over the board!

Originally posted by gambit3Exactly, I agree. He was not as good as Capa (I do not like Capa) or any other SUPER Gm. But he was maybe one of the strongest tournament player in chess history. Well, Tal (blitz maniac) was too. And many others. Like Bobby Fischer.
Frank Marshall did not care too play lines that were good positional lines for solid play. Marshall had a flair for the attack. While Marshall was a strong player he was not a super GM. Marshall also played 1. e4 c5. 2. b4 .... ? Super GMs too me are Players like Fischer, Botvinnik, Alekhine, ect. I doubt I could play that Paulsen variation. I like the Najdorf, but I am not strong enough to play it well.
But Marshall is a champion and I still like 1.e4 c5 2.b4....? even you think it is bad.
What?? Surprised?
You think you can beat me in that opening or anyon else easily if you were black???
It is simply bad when you play GM level but when you play class players, it is all tight baby! It is all tight and right! It shows your courage!
And chess is not all scientific, Lasker always played to the man, and for 27 years he was the champ of the world.
And Marshall the same way in USA. I am not saying Marshall's gambit's are the best (They are gambits) but if you want to surprise those memorizers who has no clue about chess itself, those are playable openings. Actually I really like 1.a3 (Andersen opening) and so what??? You can sometimes let yourself behind in dedvelopment. It's no big deal.
But Scientifically Najdorf is best and most complex variation in Sicilian without a doubt! And it is very unpredicatable like Najdorf himself.
I still do not wanna comment about the Dragon because I do not know a lot myself.
Thank you all for reading this crap!
