Ruy Lopez

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Open Main Line

The full mainline of the Open Ruy Lopez, where Black follows 5...Nxe4 with 6...b5, 7...d5 and develops the light-squared bishop to e6. Black gains space and active piece play in exchange for structural weaknesses. White's typical plan involves c3, Nbd2-b3, and pressure against the Black centre with a4 and Be3.
