In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you an aggressive opening variation for Black against the Ruy Lopez, which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. It is the Modern Steinitz Defense from the Morphy Defense which happens after 3...a6 4.Ba4 d6.

It is a simple and aggressive variation which is easy to learn. The main idea of Black is to play Bg4, castle queenside, and launch a powerful attack on the kingside. You will also learn a couple of deadly traps along the way.
