Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:44:30 PST

Dennis' series on the Spanish game continues with the Quick Ruy XX: The Archangelsk Part 1. He covers a lot of ground here, all based on the trunk line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 Bb7. This week he covers the direct 7.c3, and suggests that black has little to worry about in those lines. Stay tuned next week though, for the stubborn 7.d3. As always, let us know what you think!

At the ChessVideos.TV headquarters we've been getting messages from concerned fans that we've ended the Quick Ruy prematurely (having not covered all the relevant lines). Rest assured, that was a mistake. We've only concluded the Open Ruy. The Quick Ruy fights on!
