'Does every chess opening have a name?" asked one of my students recently. "I'm pretty sure they do, and if they don't, feel free to make one up" I replied, semi-seriously.
Now I have no idea if there is such a thing as the Anti-anti Marshall line, or if the following game qualifies, but after Bacrot chose an Anti-Marshall line against Carlsen, Carlsen sacrificed his e pawn any way. He also sacrificed a few other things after that, and now is 1-0 up in quater finals of the World Cup.
