Ruy Lopez

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Morphy Defence

The most common response to the Ruy Lopez, where Black plays 3...a6 to challenge the bishop immediately. This flexible move prepares ...b5 and questions White's grip on e5, leading to a wide range of rich strategic middlegames.
