Ruy Lopez, Worrall Attack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.

In chess, C86 is the ECO code for the Ruy Lopez, Worall Attack chess opening. The game begins 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Qe2. Similar to the Howell Attack (C81), White defends the e-pawn with the queen and supports the d-pawn push with Rd1. It requires finesse but Nigel Short beat Anatoly Karpov twice in their 1992 world match. Play normally proceeds 6...b5 7.Bb3 with 7...d6 or 7...0-0.
