MY MOST ATTACKING GAME

I have just finished playing my most attacking game for a long while.
I am playing the black side of a french defence.
During this game i felt very aggressive and i played moves i would normally look at but not play.

SOME FRANK MARSHALL SITES

Some of you may know that i like Frank Marshall.
His games are interesting to play over,if not bang up to date opening wise.
His go for the throat method of play did not always bring him the results he wanted,but he played good chess.
While looking through the internet i came across these Marshall sites.

The first site
http://www.angelfire.com/games4/lifemasteraj/_Marshall/marshall-list.html
Gives a bio of Marshall with his best games.

The second site
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~goeller/marshall/bibliography/index.html
Gives his tournament record and every known Marshall game in a pgn file.

The third site

http://www.chessforums.org/chess-software-recommended-websites/5004-frank-j-marshall.html
Gives more information on Marshall,with some games.

Marshall would be a player that many people would say was a strong player,even for his day.
But according to Sonas(First site), his peak rating was 2706 at the end of 1917, making him # 4 in the world!! Not too bad.
Sonas says Marshall's FIVE-YEAR PEAK was 2685.

A GAME BY PETROSIAN THE MASTER OF MANOEUVRING

I am going through the games in the Batsford book Petrosian Vs the Elite.
I came across this delightful game played in 1970.
Petrosian is black in a French defence Winawer.

In this game Petrosian seemed to be in control all the time,he made 13 knight moves out of the games 48 moves.
The knights controled the game until his pawns become to strong.

I really enjoy playing over Petrosian's games,they are not boring as many players think.But full of control and precise play.
