![]() He is a contributor to New In Chess Yearbook, the world’s leading publication on chess opening news. Ioannis Simeonidis (1975) is a Greek FIDE Master and FIDE Trainer. One thing looks certain: White players of the Ruy Lopez are going to thoroughly dislike the Neo-Møller! ![]() Simeonidis has created a compact, accessible and inspirational book. Simeonidis has made lots of exciting discoveries, presents many new ideas and shows that it is a reliable and playable system.Since the Neo-Møller is a very early deviation from the main lines, it’s easy for Black to actually get it on the board and take opponents out of their comfort zone. As yet largely disregarded and unexplored by the majority of players, Carlsen’s new approach allows Black to break free early and start giving White a hard time.įIDE Master Ioannis Simeonidis is the first to investigate this system, cover it in detail, and make it easy to grasp for club players. That’s why Magnus Carlsen revolutionized the old Møller Attack, one of the sharpest and most uncompromising variations against the Ruy Lopez. He likes unconventional and active systems that allow him to take command and put pressure on his opponent from early on. World Champion Magnus Carlsen doesn’t like passivity. ![]() Black players allowing the Ruy Lopez main lines are usually condemned to passivity, defending a slightly worse (though solid) position for as long as White chooses this situation to continue. The Ruy Lopez is one of the most important chess openings, hugely popular with amateurs and masters alike. White players will thoroughly dislike the Neo-Møller!
