New ChessVideos Show: The Quick Ruy, Part XIV: The Open Variation with 9.Qe2
After taking some time off from the "Quick Ruy" series, we resume with a look into the Open Ruy; in particular, the Keres Variation with 9.Qe2. Within this system I examine three lines. First, there's the interesting but dubious 9...g5. This can work against an unprepared opponent, but if your opponent knows what he's doing you might become road kill. The other two lines are in the main thoroughfare with 9...Be7. After 10.Rd1 there's the dynamic 10...Nc5, inviting wild complications after 11.Bxd5, and there's the solid, stable and reliable main line with 10...0-0.
The 9.Qe2 Open Ruy video is here, and as always, it's free (one-time only free registration required) and will be available on-demand for the next month or so.

Part XIV and it is quick?
[DM: It's meant ironically - the joke goes back several years to a similar series on the Sicilian.]
