Marshall Attack made easy

The Marshall Attack is a reliable counterattacking system in the Ruy Lopez. This second volume in our "Made Easy" series presents the principle lines of play without drowing the player in a mass of analysis of many lines which are not important or do not lead to strong positions for Black. This line has appeal for the player who prefers open lines and piece play. The attack is played by all levels from novice to Grandmaster. Here is guide to a popular and fun opening system.
The Marshall Attack Made Easy is the second in our series designed to guide the player by providing the best lines of play and avoiding the less successful variations. Back in 1974 Wade and Harding filled almost 250 double-column pages with analysis of this opening variation, and opening theory has expanded greatly since that book. This quantity of analysis is fine for experts and masters, but overwhelming for the average reader. We trust that you will find ample material in these pages to enable you to play and enjoy the Marshall Attack.
The Marshall is a variation of the Ruy Lopez (called the Spanish in some parts of the world). That opening is one of the very oldest and has been analyzed extremely deeply. Many lines have beer studies beyond the thirtieth move! It takes a serious student to find his way through the labyrinth successfully. In most line Black must patiently defend with utmost care for many moves or else risk defeat.
The Marshall Attack offers a way for Black to change this patient maneuvering game into an attack against White's King by sacrificing a pawn. The traditional Ruy Lopez lines are often referred to as the Spanish Torture. If you prefer an open, attacking game for Black, then the Marshall should well suit your purpose. It should be noted that the Marshall can also be played for positional advantage, since not only is White's King open to attack, but White's queenside is quite underdeveloped and thus many analysts would maintain that Black gets very adequate compensation for the sacrificed pawn.
