		Popular use of the Ruy Lopez opening did not develop, however, until the mid-1800s when Jaenisch, a Russian theoretician, "rediscovered" its potential.
		The theory of the Ruy Lopez is the most extensively developed of all the double king pawn openings.

	Easy Guide to the Ruy Lopez
		Easy Guide to the Ruy Lopez is John Emms' 1998 repertoire book on 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 from White's point of view.
		The Lopez tends to be covered in bits and pieces, so this is a much-needed contribution.
		First, there are several occasions (just for example, in the Open Ruy) in which Emms, to his credit, tells of a suggested improvement for Black; but he doesn't then offer a White move in response.

		Perhaps "stumped" is the wrong word...I tend to play the Ruy Lopez as white, but the more I play/study it, the more I feel lost in the tactical twists and turns.
		I respect the Ruy Lopez in a very deep sense, and I know I will never become its master; but if I can steel myself against its dangers and prepare myself for its pitfalls, I may be able to get a better grasp of its mysteries.
		I had a similar bout with the fl side of the Ruy Lopez, but after some studing it has become clearer to me. So maybe there's hope because now the Ruy Lopez is my main opening; the exchange as white and the berlin with 4...Nxe4 as fl.

	The Chess Mind Want to Improve? Play the Ruy Lopez
		Well, maybe...I've read that Polugaevsky's failings (we're speaking relatively here - he was a strong GM throughout his career, generally among the elite and possibly a top 3-5 player in the late 70s) were primarily psychological in nature, but it's still an interesting comment - especially coming from a devoted Francophile like Psakhis.
		The Ruy is a very rich opening, demanding of both sides the ability to maneuver and to attack, and the ability to play all sorts of pawn structures and to handle action in the center and on both flanks.
		Svidler once said that it is absolutely impossible to play high-level chess without studying Ruy Lopez and all good players went through it.

		Undaunted by these failures, another expedition sets forth (1542) to gain a footing for Spanish power on the Western Islands—that commanded by Ruy Lopez de Villalobos; it is under the auspices of the two most powerful officials in New Spain, and is abundantly supplied with men and provisions.
		In 1564 this is begun by the departure from New Spain of an expedition commanded by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, with which enterprise begins the real history of the Philippine Islands.
		I have appointed Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, [40] a native of the province of Lepuzcua, and a well-known gentleman of the family of Lezcano, as the general and leader of those embarking in these vessels—who all told, soldiers, sailors, and servants, number from two hundred and fifty to three hundred people.

		It offers both sides the opportunity for a sharp clash of forces in which the better prepared player will often come out on top.
		It is therefore no surprise that fighting players such as Victor Korchnoi and Jan Timman have always used the Open Ruy Lopez as an important weapon in their armoury.

	GrandMaster Square >>> Sam Collins' Book Reviews
		IM Shaw is a GM in all but name – he has made consistently excellent results for years now, managed a GM norm in Gibraltar, was leading the British with a few rounds to go two years ago, and has had ratings comfortably over 2500.
		Writing about the Ruy Lopez, it is all too tempting to include the same Kasparov-Karpov games (and don’t forget one or two Capablanca efforts) upon which the theory was based for years.
		The book is perfect for players thinking about trying the Ruy Lopez as White, and also serves excellently as an introduction for Black players thinking about playing 1…e5 and 2…Nc6, or those who already do but would like to expand their repertoires within this massive opening complex.

	GrandMaster Square >>> Sam Collins' Book Reviews
		The book is therefore mainly aimed at players who already have a defence against the Lopez, and who want to fill in the gaps if White surprises them earlier on.
		Emms recently wrote a book on the Ruy Lopez from White’s point of view, so it wouldn’t have been too difficult for him to research a Black defence; I honestly think that the decision to exclude the Ruy Lopez from this book was a well-considered one.
		But this could not be avoided when the possible readership is as broad as it is in this case (in my opinion, 1500 players up to grandmasters will gain a lot from this book).
