	Chessbug - Play the Ruy Lopez
		The reality of chess is that some openings (and specific lines) are favorable for White or Black, but there is no "guaranteed" way of winning (or getting an opening advantage) regardless of which opening you choose.
		White will play 11.d4 to bust open the center much like in the Closed Ruy Lopez (but with a tempo loss, which is usually spent on h3 to prevent the Black bishop to pin the f3-Knight with Bg4).
		I would have liked to see much more coverage of main lines especially in the Closed Ruy Lopez, but Greet’s goal was to present something playable off the beaten path, which is mainly based on his own analyses (which is quite an impressive feat for an IM).

		There are a number of openings, some defensive, and some offensive; some are tactical, and some are strategic; some openings focus on the center, and others focus on the flanks; some approaches are direct, and others are indirect.

		The opening is still in active use as the double king's pawn opening most commonly used in master play; it has been adopted by almost all players at some point in their careers.

	Open Ruy Lopez :: Education by Design Store
		I think that anyone who has the ability and practice of using books like The Open Ruy Lopez can quickly sift through the material (This does not imply gaining mastery of it by any means) and identify the critical variations.
		While I think the Open is a very strong weapon if played against someone unfamiliar with its fine points, the thought of a novice trying to hold some the positions in the Berlin variation is laughable.
		Like all opening books, this one is probably a waste of your time and money if you don't already have a solid understanding of tactical and endgame fundamentals.

		As such, it is not a complement to his Open Games book (reviewed by me elsewhere), since that book recommends a repertoire for Black against all 1.e4 e5 lines played by White, but excluding the Lopez.
		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.
