{Frank Marshall, the famous American player, was a fearless chess cowboy who
at the first chance would rush into unpredictable complications. His
aggressive style multiplied by youthful energy and natural optimism rewarded
him with convincing victories in three big international tournaments. In 1904
at Cambridge Springs Marshall was first with the phenomenal result of +11, -0,
=4, two points ahead of Lasker! Enthusastic American sponsors soon raised the
money for Marshall to challenge Lasker for the World Championship title. But
the crushing final score of this match, +8, -0, =7 in favour of Lasker, showed
that both players belonged in different leagues. Frank Marshall, der beruehmte
amerikanische Spieler, war ein furchtloser Schach-Cowboy, der sich gern bei
jeder Gelegenheit in unuebersehbare Komplikationen stuerzte. Sein aggressiver
Stil, potenziert durch jugendliche Energie und natuerlichen Optimismus, wurde
in drei grossen internationalen Turnieren mit ueberzeugenden Siegen belohnt.
1904 in Cambridge Springs war Marshall Erster mit dem phaenomenalen Ergebnis
von +11, -0, =4, zwei Punkte vor Lasker! Begeisterte amerikanische Sponsoren
brachten bald das Geld auf, damit Marshall den Weltmeister Lasker
herausfordern konnte. Aber das niederschmetternde Endresultat des Matches, +8,
-0, =7 zu Laskers Gunsten, zeigte, dass die beiden Spieler in verschiedene
Kategorien gehoerten.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. O-O Be7 6.

Lasker makes a wise psychological choice. He knows that in the forthcoming
complications after the piece sacrifice Marshall would feel more comfortable

Figurenopfer sein Gegner Marshall lieber die schwarzen Steine fuehren wuerde.})

their almost mystical fear of playing with isolated pawns in the centre. This
fear had been pervasive since Steinitz' impressive victories over Zuckertort
and the powerful logical arguments the first World Champion put forth against
creating unnecessary weaknesses. Botvinnik was the first to prove constantly
that active piece play with pressure in the centre very often more than
compensates for a slight defect of the pawn structure. Stellungen mit
isoliertem Bauern gehorten immer zu Botvinniks besonderen Vorlieben. Wir
verdanken es seiner Anstrengung, alle Moglichkeiten solcher Stellungen ans
Licht zu bringen, das die Schachspieler Ihre eher mystische Angst davor
verloren, mit einem isolierten Bauern im Zentrum zu spielen. Diese Angst
existierte seit Steinitz' beeindruckenden Siegen uber Zuckertort und wurde
durch die kraftvolle logische Argumentation des ersten Weltmeisters gegen
uberflussige Schwachen verstarkt. Botvinnik war der erste, der standig bewies,
