Ruy Lopez

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Closed Variation

The classical mainline where Black plays ...Be7, ...b5, ...d6 and ...O-O, building a solid but flexible position. White manoeuvres with Re1, h3, and Bc2, preparing a slow build-up. One of the deepest and most strategically rich systems in all of chess.
