Winning with the Ruy Lopez Vol. 1 - 3
Really, among the open games the only opening with which White can really fight for an advantage in the long term is the Ruy Lopez. But in order to make this serious effort, he has buckle down and learn a whole series of sub-variations. That is what the professionals do, including of course Viktor Bologan, who now reveals the secrets of his own grandmaster repertoire.
Game of the Week #376
How to win a game, in a field that is so super strong, that winning seems close to impossible? The 7th Sinquefield Cup features twelve players, including every single one of the world's very best. Yet after four rounds, 22 from 24 games ended in — mostly very "correct" — draws. Tonight we'll check out Caruana vs Aronian and will discuss what was going on.
