l Went to Gaol for two and a half years.... This is what I came up with! The Marshall Attack Zamochit Variation - the Qc7 Qd7 Variation

 I went to gaol for two and a half years, albeit with ten days in the community.  I studied the Marshall Attack, a remarkable pawn sacrifice originated by Frank Marshall. It is played by black in the Roy Lopez, one of the most common openings at Grandmaster Level.



The Marshall's most famous modern advocate is GM Michael Adams who I think is the best chess player ever.

I developed this opening in HMP Risley, and I was astonished to find that it was played in just one game up to move 13,
