Much to the viewers' Chigorin, the Chigorin and other 9th move mainlines will have to wait another week. After doing 30 shows on the Ruy, it seemed improper to skip over Black's 9th move options like 9..h6, 9...Qd7, 9...Be6, 9...Nd7 and 9...a5, so I didn't. This week's show also covers the Gajewski Gambit, the (ostensibly) "Improved" Gajewski Gambit, and two alternatives for White as well: 9.a3 and 9.d3. Now, at last, the ground has been cleared, and we can move on to the Chigorin, Zaitsev and Breyer Variations. And then, no more Ruy Lopez shows - at least from me - for a long, long, long time!
As always, the shows are free. Enjoy!
