The Exchange Variation of the Spanish Opening (Ruy Lopez) is a favourite with club players and grandmasters alike. It is a sound and highly respected opening where understanding the key ideas, plans and typical pawn structures is more important than memorizing long variations.

Used by Lasker to defeat Capablanca at St Petersburg 1914 and Fischer to defeat Spassky in Sveti Stefan over three quarters of a century later, 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Bxc6 remains an underestimated opening weapon - Shirov being one of its latest adherents. The format of Andrew Kinsman's coverage is effectively the same as the excellent Chess Press series, now under the Batsford imprint. This series has been highly acclaimed for bringing the human touch back to opening books, using nice layout, carefully selected material and a good balance of explanatory text and detailed analysis, to make the subject matter attractive for the reader. 65 annotated games are given with a wealth of diagrams to help you remember typical positions and the right way to play them.Chess monthly, September 1998
