The Marshall gambit opens the center quickly and black tries to take advantage of his lead in development to make a quick attack on white's king.
This is my chess improvement journal. I have returned to tournament chess after a short break of 35 years. I am following the advice of "Chess Master at Any Age" by Rolf Wetzell with some modifications for modern technology.

Tabiya: Ruy Lopez, Wormald and Worrall attacks
White can meet the threat to his e-pawn by defending it with Qe2, either directly after 4...Nf6 or after 5.O-O Be7. Kaufman recommends a type of Marshall attack in both cases. We reach the same position via 5.Qe2 b5 6.Bb3 Be7 7.O-O O-O (Wormald) or 5.O-O Be7 6.Qe2 b5 7.Bb3 O-O (Worrall). I will chose this position as my Tabiya for searching games, because both opponents I have faced with these lines have not played 8.c3 allowing 8...d5 and a Marshall gambit like line.
