C77 Spanish Game: 3...a6 4.Ba4 Nf6, unusual lines (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.c3)

When I have done research a bit on these games concerning the opening names, I find it interesting how they are named, not that it would matter all that much because I rarely remember them anyway. Looking how the openings ought to be played may have had some influence on how I play now compared to the way I played before. I really should start doing some tactical training again even though my ratings on different sites have increased despite I haven't done them for a while now. Seeing tactics is still one of my worst aspects as a chess player. If there ever comes a time when I start seeing the solutions to tactical training positions over 90% of the time, then I would be really happy, I doubt very much though that it will ever happen.
