Aggressive Variation Against the Ruy Lopez for Black [TRAPS

First , let me ask you a question: How many principles do you know to play correctly in ANY given position, no matter whether you are in the opening, middlegame or ending? 10? 20? 100? Do those principles really work well for you? If not, we have good news! We did all the hard work to find the most fundamental chess rules that will help you find the right moves in your games. And to make it even better, those rules are just limited to only 7, which will make your study more efficient. We’re glad to announce that we’ll open the enrolment to our course “7 Keys to Victory” on Tuesday, 7 February. We have more benefits to announce, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, you’re welcome to join the waitlist to the course to get notified about it. Today I’d like to share with you an aggressive opening variation for Black against the Ruy Lopez, which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. It is the Modern Steinitz Defense from the Morphy Defense which happens after 3…a6 4.Ba4 d6. It is a simple and aggressive variation which is easy to learn. The main idea of Black is to play Bg4, castle queenside, and launch a powerful attack on the kingside. You will also learn a couple of deadly traps along the way. You can find the PGN of these variations below:
