The Spanish Game/Classical Defence

The opening is named after a Spanish priest from the 16th century, Ruy López de Segura.

In 1561, he published a book on chess called Libro del Ajedrez (Book of Chess) in which the Ruy Lopez already appeared. Since then it has been used regularly by every World Chess Champion and is often one of the first openings beginners learn.

The Ruy Lopez is so popular it’s hard to find a player who hasn’t played it at some point in their chess career.

It’s considered to be one of the best openings for beginners because it typically leads to open games, with a lot of play for both sides. Mastering the fundamentals of this opening isn’t rocket science and today we will go over the basics to get you going with the Ruy Lopez.

The Ruy Lopez begins with the following moves:

One of White’s key ideas in the Ruy Lopez is to quickly control the center. This is achieved by placing a pawn in the center on the first move (1.e4), a move which also liberates the White’s light-squared bishop and queen.

By playing 2.Nf3, White immediately attacks the Black central pawn on e5. Afterwards, White moves his bishop to b5 from where it threatens to eliminate the knight on c6, Black’s piece that protects the pawn on e5. With these three moves, White immediately puts pressure on the center.

Following these ideas, White achieves the 3 main goals of any opening: control of the center, rapid development, and preparation for castling to safety.
