The Centre Attack of the Ruy Lopez in 60 Minutes, Andrew Martin - verzia na stiahnutie (anglicky)

The Centre Attack in the Ruy Lopez (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.d4) is a sharp and underrated variation that catches many opponents off guard. By striking in the centre early, White introduces dynamic and tactical possibilities into one of chess’s most classical openings - often before Black is ready. This line requires far less theoretical memorisation than traditional Ruy Lopez main lines, making it a highly practical choice, especially for club players and ambitious improvers. With accurate play, Black may find ways to equalise - but will your opponents be prepared? In this 60 Minutes course, IM Andrew Martin guides you through all the key ideas and variations you need to know to play 5.d4 with confidence. Whether you’re looking to surprise your opponents, or simply want a straightforward yet powerful weapon against 1...e5, the Centre Attack has you covered.
