About This Item

82 pages with frontispiece, diagrams and photographs. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with lettering in black to cover and edges in black cross-hatch. Inscribed by Marshall. (Betts: 14-7) First edition.

The author commences with some general remarks on the openings and goes on to analyse some of his favourite lines in answer to 1. P-K4. The basic defence recommended is the Petroff, with additional analysis of the lines by which white avoids the Petroff (Tree Knights' Game, Max Lange and others). Includes a few illustrative games played by Marshall.

Frank James Marshall was the U.S. Chess Champion from 1909 to 1936, and one of the world's strongest chess players in the early part of the 20th century. He won the 1904 Cambridge Springs International Chess Congress (scoring 13/15, ahead of World Champion Emanuel Lasker) and the U.S. congress in 1904, but did not get the national title because the U.S. champion at that time, Harry Nelson Pillsbury, did not compete. In 1906 Pillsbury died and Marshall again refused the championship title until he won it in competition in 1909. In 1907 he played a match against World Champion Emanuel Lasker for the title and lost eight games, winning none and drawing seven. They played their match in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, and Memphis from January 26 to April 8, 1907.
