Attacking the Spanish by Sabino Brunello is an English-language chess book for players who want to meet the Ruy Lopez with active, ambitious play as Black rather than settle for a passive defence.
What this book covers
Brunello focuses on three sharp answers to the Spanish: the Marshall Attack, the Schliemann Defence and the Gajewski Variation. Together, they give Black a practical repertoire built around dynamic positions, tension and real chances to seize the initiative.
The book is aimed at club players and stronger players building a concrete repertoire against 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. The lines are presented with serious play in mind, including systems that have been tested at a high level.
