The Open Spanish is considered to be one of the soundest systems in modern opening theory. It remains a popular choice among superstars such as Mamedyarov, Caruana , So and Giri and was used in World Championship matches by Korchnoi and Anand.
The Open Spanish arises after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Nxe4. In this opening Black opts for active piece play and is not afraid to fight for the initiative from an early stage. One of the many good features of this opening is that Black is often the side which controls the pace of the game. Black can go for long forced variations that lead to sharp endgames or choose a slower game with more pieces on the board. Therefore, the Open Spanish is not only an excellent weapon against stronger players, but also gives plenty of scope for the outplaying of “lesser rated’’ opponents. This DVD offers a full repertoire for Black against 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 and gives you a great arsenal of ideas against all the topical lines.

Die Spanische Eröffnung zählt zu den ältesten überhaupt. Sie ist nach dem spanischen Priester Ruy López de Segura benannt, der 1561 seine Analysen zu diesem Spielanfang in einem Buch vorgestellt hatte. Aber auch heute noch kann man Spanisch in vielen Partien von Topspielern sehen und es ist ganz klar die wichtigste offene Eröffnung. Weiß entwickelt nicht nur seinen Läufer, sondern macht sofort Druck gegen den schwarzen Bauern e5. Während früher 3...a6 fast obligatorisch war, wird heute 3...Sf6 - die Berliner Verteidigung - favorisiert.
