Here is a new surprise weapon in the venerable Spanish Game (Ruy Lopez). This is the most popular double King Pawn opening and has been analyzed for hundreds of years. It would seem to be extremely difficult to introduce a new idea on only the fourth move of this defense, but the authors demonstrate the practical value of this innovation through analysis and the presentation of examples of the variation from tournament, match, and correspondence play. Most lines of play resulting from the thrust 4.... d5 in the Cordel Defense lead to early exciting tactical skirmishes with ample opportunity for the unwary or unprepared opponent to go astray into quick defeat. Nine complete annotated games are supplemented by 21 additional games incorporated into the analytical part of the book.
