I Will Never Again Play a Move as Beautiful as This

why does it say "the legend says spectators thre gold coins at the board" above the frank marshall game?

The self-promotion is a little much, in my view. Humility, please.

@CkickyCheck Absolute mind mind blowing game! When I saw your game, I saw Re1, but I felt like your move, Re3 was way better. Re3 reminded me of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov's game, where he sacrificed his 2 rooks on the same exact square: the e3 square.
P.S: I saw the game in a GothamChess short!

Marshall's move is the most overrated BS in history. It doesn't win him the game (as he was already winning), the whole thing is neither deep nor forced, it's not even original. There are hundreds of incredible moves in chess history and this is absolutely NOT one of them.
It is nevertheless super hard to see such an "invisible'' move where it can be captured by three different pieces. I do not understand how such a move can be hated.

I don't hate the move, I just hate its preposterous glorification
