Fighting the Ruy Lopez (Starting Out Series)

The Ruy Lopez is incredibly common at all levels of chess and everyone who plays 1 e4 e5 as Black needs to have a reliable antidote to this powerful opening. In this book Milos Pavlovic provides the answer devising a sound and yet ambitious repertoire for Black the basis of which is provided by the legendary and ever-popular Marshall Attack. The Marshall is a perfect weapon for Black as it avoids passive positions and the so-called Spanish torture of many other variations. In contrast with the Marshall Blacks objectives are clear-cut and often involve a direct mating attack against the white king!
