The sharpest Ruy Lopez: Delayed Jaenisch in 60 Minutes

Are you looking for some action against the Spanish Defense? The Delayed Jaenisch Gambit, resulting from the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 f5, will be your choice from now on! Of course, Black could also choose the "normal" Jaenisch Gambit with 3...f5, but inserting the move ...a7-a6 proves to be quite useful in various variations. 7 videos explore all of White's logical options, of which opening the center with 5.d4 is obviously the most challenging. The resulting positions are tactically rich and offer Black great chances to fight for the initiative, even if the engines may disagree with our choice in some variations. In 2020, the variation experienced a renaissance, and since then many strong grandmasters have quickly made a mistake with White. So your next opponent will not be the first victim of this tricky surprise weapon!
