1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. d4 d5 6. Bd3 Bd6 7. c4 Bb4+ 8. Kf1?!
i saw this move in game by Janowski - Marshall (1912) in Janowski - Marshall Match 4 rd 3, and im really confused about it.
8.Nbd2 develops a piece, and 0-0 followed up by Nxe4 would be a threat. while it is true that the d2N isnt placed in ideal spot, however black is half a tempo down by the move Bb4+, and white also has the plan to kick away the bishop by a3 and eventual Nxd4 removing the powerful piece by opponent from the board.
while the masters database agrees with me, somehow this bizzare move Kb1 is almost played often as the move Nbd2. Kb1 hinders the development of the h-file R and the king is unsafe (in fact Marshall won this game by exploiting this positional weakness).
however this move avoids piece exchange which is kind of reasonable in potential IQP position, but that comes down to the question of why did white played c4 in the first place, considering the fact that the position is inferior compared to the normal IQP position because of the absence of e6 pawn.
i would like to hear your opinion about this move.
