Chess Quote

The most important feature of the Chess position is the activity of the pieces. This is absolutely fundamental in all phases of the game: Opening, Middlegame and especially Endgame. The primary constraint on a piece's activity is the Pawn structure. ~ Michael Stean

Ruy Lopez (Spanish) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Yury Markushin   
Sunday, 20 December 2009 18:41

Spanish game is one of the oldest and well analyzed openings. The opening was first played and studied by the greatest chess players of XV and XVI century Luzena and Lopez from Spain. This is probably single the most popular opening which is being played today at all levels: from beginners to the elite grandmasters.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6



In the old times the main idea of 3.Bb5 was to attack e5 pawn, but nowadays it's only a beginning of complex strategic plan: fighting for the center and gaining tempo.

The 3...a6 move considered to be modern Ruy Lopez and being played most of the times.
