The Spanish Trade - Alkehiline Variation

Daniels25
Hi everyone, this is my favorite opening, because it allows you to get a Rook and possibly an easy win. I've beaten a 1024 when I'm only a 681 with this opening. So.. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxb5 4...dxb5 5.d4 exd4 6.Qxd4 Qxd4 7.Nxd4 Bd7 8.O-O O-O-O Then white usually follows up by 9.Bg6 9...Nf6 10.e5, putting pressure on the pinned piece, ChessKid stuff.
