Spanish Game - Möller + Arkhangelsk Variation - Overview
In the Spanish Game after 3...a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 the main continuation is 6...Be7, which will be discussed in the following chapters. In this video IM Lawrence Trent presents the basic theory of the Arkhangelsk Variation (6...Bb7) and the Möller Defence (6...Bc5), explaining that sometimes they can transpose into each other. His conclusion is that Black has excellent chances to reach very dynamic positions in both variations.
