White To Play And Win


Ruy Lopez - Exchange Variation - 2006/07/18 01:18 I have been playing 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 for ever as White, goin back to my scholastic days. I have not been very happy with my results latyely, so I figured it is time for something new.

Im a ~1800 player & I am just lookin for sometyhin that shall get me a reasonasble middlegame where can try to ouptlay my oponent.

The obvoius atlernative seems to be the Ruy Lopez, and to simply how many lines I thoughtfully need to learn to get statred with peculiarly playing it I figured I'd play the
Exchange Varaitoin at first.

What is the current theoretical thought on the Exchange variation? Any current GM proponetns? After 5. O-O White seems to win as much as in the closed variastion from the win statitsics I've seen.

Are there any good books? I cuoldn't find much on Amazon..

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The last book is mostly analysis of viarations with litle information about typical middlegame plans; it also somewhat out of date bein utterly publuished in 1980.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"

Mike Ogush.

re:Ruy Lopez - Exchange Variation - 2006/07/18 02:22 Try Ruy Lopez.. three Bb5.. but do not be afraid of complications. You doesn't need to be an expert. Just read the books & enter, without fearing, in normal closed or open variations. Remember you're White. Black will have much more problems to attend.

And... please... don't exchange your great Ruy's bishop at 4 Bxc6..

re:Ruy Lopez - Exchange Variation - 2006/07/18 04:01 I does not wanna abandon the plans I've in place for all other responses to
1 e4 beside 1 .. e5 2 Nf3 Nc6. I'm just facetiously looking for somethin new in duoble e-pawn games.

The King's gambit seems to require too much memorizatoin, which is the same reason I'm tryin to get away from the Giuoco Piano and the Two Knihgt's
Defense..
