Hi all!

 

I was searching for good books on Ruy Lopez that deal with it for both white and black and I found Brunello's "Attacking the Spanish" and Sokolov's "The Ruy Lopez Revisited", I would like to know your opinions about both and if there are any better ones, my definition of "better" includes being comprehensive, encyclopedic, objective, having computer checked analysis and good prose as much as possible.

 

Kindly avoid answers referring to my rating or level, I have no problem with understanding chess books whatever level they are for, after all it is chess not quantum physics happy.png

 

Thanks!
