Enjoy!

Nice game. Ruy Lopez players get real pissed when that comes up.

I played 3.Nc3 for awhile against petrov's defense, but 3...Bb4 lets black equalize, it think I am going to start playing 3.d4.

Its quite a common beginning in chess (???)

Nxe5 Nxe4 is fine withcont. with me this is almost like the berlin with out bishop out

After 3 Nxe5 , 3...Nxe4 is an inferior response, but entirely playable if you know what you're doing. Much better to play 3...d6.

A-ok, Comments coming fast

 Agreed. I learned a lot about the Petrov just for that reason. I HATE the Ruy Lopez. I'll play whatever it takes to keep the Ruy out of a game.

 Black has to kick the knight out with the d-pawn before it is safe to retake the pawn.

 

 

I have a line against the Petrov that gives White a dynamic and good game.  e4 e5 Nf3 Nf6 Nxe5 d6 Nf3 Nxe4 Nc3!? Nxc3 dxc3! and White has active square for his pieces, will castle queenside, and pawnstorm the kingside.
