What are your opinions ? This has become my first defence against the ruy.

Note: this is just one of the variations.

Me and my friend Cathal_MagFhloinnplay a lot of Ruy Lopez games and bird's defence is not great. white if they are careful can retain the advantage

what I don't know is how to turn off the under lines on my text ugh!

I don't think moving the knight multiple times in the opening and busting up your pawn structure is a good idea. What is the idea behind this? I have seen it before but never understood why it is played.
