This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

G'day Everyone!

Welcome to my third tournament! We continue in our series of using pre-set openings, this time with the ever popular Ruy Lopez opening. A successor strategem to the Italian Game, this is characterised by an agressive Bishop attack by White at b5. As is the custom in my tournaments, I'll be providing a daily round up and commentary as we progress, and I encourage everyone to participate and join in as well.

You can find a very extensive analysis of this opening here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruy_Lopez

Opening Moves:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 NC6 3. Bb5

So, to quote Shakespeare's King Henry V, "once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more"!
