1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1b5  3... g8e7 Steinitz's favorite defense is back into the spotlight, mainly thanks to the efforts of Aronian and Sadhwani. 4. e1g1  4... e7g6 The modern treatment. Steinitz preferred to fianchetto his dark-squared bishop instead. 5. d2d4  5... e5d4  6. f3d4  6... f8c5  7. d4c6 Too modest. 7... b7c6  8. b5d3  8... e8g8 The arising positon is more a Scotch than a Ruy Lopez. And quite a favorable version for Black, with an active knight on g6 rather than a vulnerable one on the f6-square.
