Ruy Lopez - (C70) Norwegian Defence or Wing Variation (Opening Theory)

Ruy Lopez Norwegian Defense Chess Resources


The Norwegian Defence (also called the Wing Variation ), is an aggressive but time-consuming alternative for Black. The game follows 3...a6 4.Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Na5. The goal of the opening is to eliminate the white bishop. A speculative sacrifice (Nightingale Gambit) is now 6.Bxf7+?!, which drives the black king out, but with accurate play, Black is supposed to be able to consolidate his extra piece.
