Torre Attack, with 1.d4 followed by 2.Nf3 and 3.Bg5, is a solid
and easy to learn opening system with hidden dynamic potential. An
understanding of the plans and ideas is more important than a
precise knowledge of variations which means that it can be played
for a lifetime without the need to worry about shock moves or
surprises. These are amongst the reasons that several great players
have been attracted by the Torre, including those with such diverse
styles as Tigran Petrosian and David Bronstein.
Nigel Davies has been a Grandmaster since 1993 and is a former
British Open Quickplay and U21 Champion. He has played the Torre
Attack in a number of his own games.
