The Marshall Chess Club: Chess Heaven in New York City
Frank Marshall (pictured), born on 10 August 1877, was one of the best and most influential American players. He was a witty chess romantic who immortalised himself with many brilliant combinations and enriched opening theory with some dangerous gambit variations. In 1915 he founded the Marshall Chess Club in New York and this may have been his most lasting contribution to American chess. The club has a rich history and continues to promote chess in America. Vladimir Lionter sends a portrait of this chess heaven in New York City.
