Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor presents weapons for Black against the hugely popular Spanish Opening (Ruy Lopez), with a repertoire based on the Modern Steinitz Defence. This system has earned a reputation as an important alternative to the main lines — flexible, fighting, and full of practical venom.
The Modern Steinitz can lead to razor-sharp positions such as the Siesta Variation, where one slip by either player could prove fatal. But its major attraction is flexibility — Black can also choose to play in a more positional manner depending on the situation.
- Complete Black repertoire against the Ruy Lopez
- Based on the Modern Steinitz Defence
- Covers the sharp Siesta Variation and positional alternatives
- Up-to-date theory on the critical lines
- Covers plans and strategies for both sides
Timothy Taylor is an International Master and acclaimed chess writer known for his entertaining and thought-provoking style.
