I do not undersrtand why the Breyer would be considered boring, but the Arkhangelsk Variation is not boring either. In any case I see 6...Bc5 more often, I suppose this is the Neo-Arkhangelsk, with the line where Black sacrifices the b5-pawn and plays ...Bg4?

There are also a Chessbase DVD:

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=5768

gives the "pure" Arkhangelsk with 6...Bb7.  I always held Beliavsky to be one of the experts here, and Mikhalchishin has been his long time second as well as playing it a great deal himself.

Shirov has apparently explained on one of his DVDs that 6...Bb7 is inaccurate because of 7 d3 with the idea that the Bb7 has been prematurely placed there since e4 is solidly defended.  On the other hand, white has played 7 d3 Wink so black shouldn't have too much to fear (the Anti-Marshall lines also seem to prove this).

I can't resist posting this classic though Smiley

Well 2000 is pre strong computers and its awfully tactical in places, so..... Rather less games with 6.. Bb7 recently I think, mostly because they've been going 6.. Bc5 instead. 7 d3 typically seems to get the blame for that.
(tons of games in 6 ..Bc5 of course. See say Shirov recently.).

It is perhaps a fraction odd because it doesn't even have the slightly (unfair?) dull thing that the Breyer has going on to count against it.

Thanks, I found the Everyman book on it herehttp://www.everymanchess.com/chess/books/Archangel_and_New_Archangel, but it says published 2000, so I am not sure how much the theory has changed. I suppose this variation is similar to the Breyer in that there are not many books on it.

There's a rather old Everyman book and a little coverage in revolution in the 70's. Otherwise not sure either for this, or for the early Bc5 stuff.

An advantage in a way if you use chesspub and databases to put things together Smiley

What are some books that cover the Arkhangelsk Variation of the Spanish?
