Soltis "Chess Life" quote about Frank Marshall and his openings
I'm going nuts trying to remember a quote from Andy Soltis' Chess Life
column "Chess to Enjoy", probably from the '80s, where he mentioned
some of Frank Marshall's opening experiments and the fact that the
American never got credit for his efforts in terms of them being named
after him -- unless he lost, that is. Reference was made to 1.d4 d5
2.c4 Nf6 which, after Marshall was decisively beaten by Alekhine at
Baden-Baden 1925, became known as the "Marshall Defense".
Anybody recall the quote?
Thanks!
