This Grandmaster Repertoire 13: The Open Spanish by Victor Mikhalevski is an English-language hardcover chess book for players building a Black repertoire against the Ruy Lopez.
What the book covers
The book presents the Open Spanish as a complete repertoire system for Black, centred on the line after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 and the open variation after 5.0–0 Nxe4. It shows how Black can take the e4 pawn early and meet White with active play instead of drifting into slower closed Spanish structures.
As part of the Grandmaster Repertoire series, this title is aimed at ambitious and advanced players who want a practical opening system they can study and use with confidence.
