This concluding course covers all of Black’s rare sidelines that can arise on moves 3 and 4. While these lines are less common, they are no less critical to prepare for. Black often employs these variations as surprise weapons, making them essential knowledge for any player serious about mastering the Spanish Opening. Some of these lines, like the Nge7 Cozio, are gaining significant popularity and can catch even experienced players off guard.

In this Database, we will deal with everything after 3.d4, except for the Maroczy Bind (see "Play the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon—Part 1"). We have a lot of theoretical ground to cover, and the general character of the play is sharp and concrete. For both sides, theoretical knowledge is mandatory to successfully navigate the various complex lines. Seen from our perspective: Black can often achieve excellent positions out of the opening if White is lazy!
