The 8...d6 line is recommended by Nigel Davies in Play 1 e4 e5!and by Mihail Marin in A Spanish Repertoire for black which came out after your book. You have play 1 e4 e5! in your bibliography so you must have thought that white has improvements over Davies' lines. What do you think about Marin's analysis of this line? How does both books analysis compare to Greet's Play the Ruy Lopez?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
