A simple idea underpins the Exchange Variation of the Ruy Lopez.

Take all the pieces off and White wins the ending. Naturally, the execution of this plan is anything but simple because Black obtains the Bishop pair and free piece play to compensate him for his doubled pawns on c6.

Nevertheless, it is useful to have something to aim for! Many World Champions have employed 4.Bxc6 and we will see some of their encounters on this DVD, along with a collection of very recent examples.

Bobby Fischer was perhaps the most influential of those who played 4.Bxc6, as he showed the line could be played dynamically and that White was not restricted only to play for better endgames.

The Exchange Variation is suitable for all levels of player, completely sound and a good tournament weapon. On this new ChessBase DVD, Andrew Martin makes a convincing case for White’s chances. In 2010, 4.Bxc6 is as dangerous as ever.

International Master Andrew Martin is 52 years old. He is a senior FIDE trainer and Manager of Coaching for the English Chess Federation. This is his 18th DVD for ChessBase.

System requirements: Pentium-Processor at 300 Mhz or higher, 64 MB RAM, Windows XP, Windows Vista, DVD drive, mouse, soundcard
