This Week's ChessVideos Show: The Quick Ruy XXII: Archangelsk Part 3
Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 12:29PM As Kramnik will resign game one of the match with Aronian at any moment (full analysis forthcoming!), those needing another chess fix can tune into this week's ChessVideos show. We resume our exploration of the Ruy Lopez by concluding our coverage of the Archangelsk Variation (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 Bb7). We've already looked at 7.c3 and examined 7.d3 as well, considering 7...Bc5 and 7...Be7. Two lines remain, however: 7...Bd6 is an interesting try suggested by some viewers, and there's also 7.Re1 as a third White possibility. Both are covered this time around, so in our next Ruy show we'll move on to the Neo-Archangelsk Variation that starts with 6...Bc5.
As always, the show is free (one-time only free registration is required) and will be available on-demand for at least the next month or so.
