Torre attack

The chess opening Torre Attack is named after him.

The Torre Attack is a chess opening characterized by the moves:

Bg5 (the Torre system, which may be considered a variant of the Torre Attack)

The Torre Attack is rarely met in modern top-flight play, and statistics show that it is not particularly advantageous for White.

In the first tiebreak blitz game, Karpov played very carefully, using the conservative Torre Attack and entering early into an exchange of queens.

The Torre Attack, 3 Bg5, merely develops the white queen bishop outside of the main body of white pawns.

The pinning of the f6-knight looks similar to the Torre Attack, but while the Torre is fairly common, the Neo-Indian is rarely played.

Against Benjamin, Hug chose the Torre Attack, named after the Mexican grandmaster Carlos Torre.

The Neo-Indian Attack, Torre Attack, and Trompowski Attack are White anti-Indian variations.

The Tartakower Defence in the Queen's Gambit Declined (also known as the Tartakower-Makogonov-Bondarevsky System) also bears his name, as does the most common variation of the Torre Attack.

Some of these openings have individual names as well, e.g. the Trompowsky Attack, Torre Attack, Stonewall Attack, Richter-Veresov Attack, London System, and Colle System.

Along with the Trompowsky Attack, Colle System, London System, and Torre Attack, the Richter-Veresov Attack is one of the more common branches of the Queen's Pawn Game.

The Richter-Veresov Attack, Colle System, Stonewall Attack, Torre Attack, London System, and Blackmar-Diemer Gambit are classified as Queen's Pawn Games because White plays d4 but not c4.
