[Event "Fritz gegen Deutschland"] [Site "www.fritzgegendeutschland.de"] [Date "1999.10"] [Round "-"] [White "Germany"] [Black "fritz6"] [Result "*"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 * Analysis: Elisabeth Pähtz (Ba4) My move is 4. Ba4. Hasta la vista, by 3.Bb5 the "Ruy" grabs the bull by the horns. I was very glad Germany didn't choose the Italian Pizza (3.Bc4). Personally I prefer the Spanish Opening -- not only because I will fly to the Junior WC in Spain a week from now. I propose Bb5-a4. Alternatively, the exchange 4.Bb5xc6 is possible, too. However, I prefer a menu with several courses over one main course. GM Reiner Knaak (4.Ba4) I propose 4.Ba4. This move seems to be forced. Fischer, and Lasker before him, experimented successfully with the Exchange Variation 4.Bxc6, but today good methods of defense against it are known. Murugan Thiruchelvam (Ba4) Germany should play 4.Ba4. I don't like the Exchange Variation with 4.Bxc6, since it's boring, especially in the endgame. After 4.Ba4 White usually controls the center and gets attacking chances on the king side. I play this whenever I can. --- Mit freundlicher Genehmigung der / With kind permission of ChessBase GmbH, Hamburg
