Chessbase Trainers - R. Ris - Fighting the Ruy Lopez Exchange (2015)

Review by IM Nisha Mohota
Some openings are very irritating to face. Imagine you are playing a tournament and want a win in your next game with the black pieces. You intend to play the Marshall Attack or the Breyer Variation of the Spanish, with some fighting middlegame, but your opponent spoils the fun by playing the boring Exchange Variation of the Ruy Lopez where the queens disappear very early and you are forced to endure a long endgame in which your counterpart keeps pressing in an almost equal position. Irritating, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be just better if you could keep the queens on the board somehow? Robert Ris in his 60 minute ChessBase DVD: Fighting the Ruy Lopez Exchange Variation with 5...Qe7, proposes a nice line for those adventurous souls who hate to enter into an ending straight out of the opening.

This is a video-less Chessbase-60min-Lecture! Use Chessbase.

Enjoy,
