Marshall has been refuted??
Sort:
No.
As far as I know, the recommended action against the Spanish is still the Ruy Lopez.
No, the marshall is the most popular choice at the GM level these days.
And the spanish IS the ruy lopez.

did they provide a line? perhaps it was a game from a major recent tournament. i think anand was on the receiving end?
Capablanca beat Marshall the first time he saw it, that goes to show you how good Capablanca was. The Marshall is why I don't like playing the white side of the Ruy Lopez.

Ugh. Typing too many things at once. As far as I know, the suggested counter is still the Morphy's Defense. I'll look into Marshall, I've never heard of it before.

I think whites 17th Qxd5 is the "refutation" your acquaintance is talking about, it certainly looks good.
