Winning with the Ruy Lopez Vol. 2: Steinitz, Anti-Marshall, Open & Co.

("Winning with the Ruy Lopez") Actually, of the openings, the only one where White can fight for the long-term advantage is the Ruy Lopez. However, to cope with such a serious endeavor, they have to get to work and learn a whole series of sub-variants. That's what professionals do, including of course Viktor Bologan, who now reveals the secrets of his own grandmaster repertoire. In his second DVD on the Ruy Lopez, Viktor Bologan shows how things continue after 3.. .a6 4.Aa4. Black has some possible deviations before we get to the main lines that we'll cover in part three. Among them are the solid Steinitz Defense and the Archangel Variant which has again been updated. In the Ruy Lopez Open quite different positions are reached and the whites also need to understand them. And our author prefers to avoid the Marshall Attack, so he suggests the Anti-Marshall starting with 8.h3. Video footage: 5 hours and 20 minutes.
