The Ruy Lopez is arguably the most classic of chess openings. White
immediately starts the battle for the centre, fighting for the
initiative. This strategic clarity has made the Ruy Lopez, or
Spanish Opening, an eternal favourite with chess players at all
levels. Inevitably, this popularity has also led to a wealth of
opening theory. In this book, Fabiano Caruana takes you by the hand
and lays out a complete and practical White repertoire for club
players. He avoids complicated chaotic lines, but doesnt shy away
from sharp battles. Caruana loves to find and use the tactics to
punish Black for risky choices. This one-volume and crystal-clear
repertoire covers fifteen main variations, from the classical lines
to the anti-Marshall (8.a4), and from the Schliemann (3f5) to the
Modern Steinitz. In an easy-to-grasp manner Caruana explains
general characteristics, such as permanent weaknesses long-term
goals, and is always looking for an advantage for White. The
insights of the World #2 in this classic opening, will not only
greatly improve your results in the Ruy Lopez, but also sharpen
your general chess knowledge. Inspired by Caruanas ChessBase Series
