Libro en inglés ¡Los jugadores de blancas van a odiar la Neo-Møller! La apertura española es una de las más importantes de todas, popular tanto entre maestros como entre aficionados. Los jugadores de negras que permiten las líneas principales de la Ruy López están, por lo general, condenados a la pasividad, defendiendo una posición ligeramente peor (aunque sólida), hasta que las blancas decidan continuar. Al campeón del mundo, Magnus Carlsen, no le gusta la pasividad. Tiene debilidad por sistemas activos y poco convencionales que le permitan tomar el control y presionar al oponente desde una etapa temprana de la partida. Es por esto que el noruego ha revolucionado el antiguo ataque Møller, uno de los más incisivos y poco comprometidos sistemas contra la Ruy López. Como aún es territorio inexplorado para la mayoría de jugadores, el nuevo enfoque de Carlsen permite a las negras liberarse pronto y poner en una situación difícil a las blancas. White players will thoroughly dislike the Neo-Møller! The Ruy Lopez is one of the most important chess openings, hugely popular with amateurs and masters alike. Black players allowing the Ruy Lopez main lines are usually condemned to passivity, defending a slightly worse (though solid) position for as long as White chooses this situation to continue. World Champion Magnus Carlsen doesn’t like passivity. He likes unconventional and active systems that allow him to take command and put pressure on his opponent from early on. That’s why Magnus Carlsen revolutionized the old Møller Attack, one of the sharpest and most uncompromising variations against the Ruy Lopez. As yet largely disregarded and unexplored by the majority of players, Carlsen’s new approach allows Black to break free early and start giving White a hard time. FIDE Master Ioannis Simeonidis is the first to investigate this system, cover it in detail, and make it easy to grasp for club players. He has called it the Neo-Møller. Simeonidis has made lots of exciting discoveries, presents many new ideas and shows that it is a reliable and playable system. Since the Neo-Møller is a very early deviation from the main lines, it’s easy for Black to actually get it on the board and take opponents out of their comfort zone. Simeonidis has created a compact, accessible and inspirational book. One thing looks certain: White players of the Ruy Lopez are going to thoroughly dislike the Neo-Møller! Ioannis Simeonidis (1975) is a Greek FIDE Master and FIDE Trainer. He is a contributor to New In Chess Yearbook, the world’s leading publication on chess opening news. Simeonidis is the inventor of a recent new system in the Sicilian (the line 2.Nc3 d6 3.d4!?), also played by Magnus Carlsen.
