♟️ RARE & Aggressive Opening Against the Ruy Lopez for Black | The Schliemann Defense (Jaenisch Gambit)
Tired of passively defending against the Ruy Lopez? Want an aggressive chess opening for Black that immediately fights back and throws your opponent off balance?
GM Igor Smirnov unveils the Schliemann Defense (also known as the Jaenisch Gambit), a sharp and underrated line that starts with: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5.
This powerful gambit is a hidden gem for club players and strong improvers alike. It’s similar to the Rousseau Gambit—but specifically designed to dismantle the solid setup of the Spanish Game. With bold kingside aggression and rapid development, the Schliemann Defense turns the tables on White from the very first moves.
🧠 In this video lesson, you’ll learn:
✅ How to use the Schliemann Defense to seize the initiative as early as move 3
✅ The strategic goals behind …f5 and how it breaks White’s setup
✅ Powerful traps and tactical ideas that punish common White replies
✅ How to create dynamic, unbalanced positions where YOU dictate the pace
✅ Why this rare line is perfect for blitz, rapid, and over-the-board games
Whether you’re playing online or OTB, the Schliemann Defense gives you an edge against one of the most popular and respected openings in chess history.
And the best part? Most Ruy Lopez players have no clue how to deal with it.
