Some positions are so complex tactically, I can’t get very far with them -and here’s an obvious example. Like all those destined to remain so massively under 2700 ELO, I can only guess what black should play in the position below. The move chosen doesn’t look the best but what would I know?
The game can be found here: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1009910&comp=1. Far too above my level to follow. I do recall Adams was just about the best there was with the Marshall Gambit at his peak.
Once more, and perhaps for the last time, this position comes from a game in a publication I bought over a decade ago, and have only recently re-read.
