Ruy Lopez

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Classical Defence

Black develops with 3...Bc5, placing the bishop actively and putting immediate pressure on f2. While less popular than the Morphy Defence at the top level, the Classical is a principled and sound approach that leads to open, tactical games with chances for both sides.
