Spain: don't play a Steinitz's variation!

The variation 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 had no good reputation. the nxt two games show that there are good reasons for it.

 LydiaBlonde vs StewARTG

I try to input a game here with a diagram. However, When I input moves, the program think that the move 7. Bxd7 isn't possible? Surprised

 LydiaBlonde vs mydarlingron

I don't care for  the steinitz defense  either  I've only played it a few  times, but got beat fairly bad each time. I like the Berlin defense against the ruy, and the schliemann variation is fun.

Yeah I don't like the Steinitiz variation either.  Much better is the marshall attack. Or the schliemann defence!
