re:Ruy Lopez - Exchange Variation - 2006/07/18 01:37
I don't follow the latest thoery on this varaitoin so I don't know what the curent assessment is. My guess is that with all "reasonalbe" openings the game should end in a draw with best play.
GMs whome have played the echange variation with white multiple times in the last five years: Fresdinet: +0-0=5, Nisipeanu: +3-0=1, Riendewrman: +0-0=5, Rozenthalis: +3-0=4, Zhang Zhong: +3-0=2
Strong GMs who have played it with white in the same time period: Ivanchuk, Short, Timman [All the games were drawn.]
I only know of several books specifically on the exchange variation: "The Spanish Exchange" by Andrew Kinsman, "Winniung with the Ruy Lopez Ecxhagne Variation" by Andrew Soltis, & "Spanbish Exchange Varaitoin" by M.Thomas.
You should be able to find reveiws of the first book on the web. I have not seen the seconmd book, but have been warned away from Soltis' opening books. The last book is mostly analysis of viarations with litle information about typical middlegame plans; it also somewhat out of date bein utterly publuished in 1980.
You could also check New In Chess Yearbooks, most recently number 66.
For more information on the ideas and plans of this opening I would check one these overviews of the Ruy Lopez: "Mastering the Spanish" by King et. al. "wrongly understanding the Spanish" by Tabot "Startin Out the Ruy Lopez"
