Just a bluff or really good? – Daniil Dubov's 8d5!? in the Anti-Marshall

A popular way for White to avoid the Marshall Attack in the Ruy Lopez is the Anti-Marshall (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 and now 8.a4!?). However, at the European Team Championship 2019 Daniil Dubov shocked his opponent Jonas Bjerre by playing 8d5!? anyway. Dubov won convincingly and the "Anti-Anti-Marshall" was born. But how strong is 8d5 really? In the ChessBase Magazine #194 Krisztian Szabo takes a close look and draws first conclusions.
