4. Bxc6 is perfectly playable, if you know the lines. Unfortunately, the remainder of White's moves were not.

It isn't for me, what's your reason?

Bxc6 really is bad. That's why I play Bc4 instead and taking on e5 is just asking for trouble.
The problem is on Nxe5 not on Bxc6 so no, you can't kill the ruy lopez as black -.-

Why not just play the Italian game to start with?

Not everybody plays a6. If the play continues Ba4 b5 The bishop ends on the diagonal anyway. Then there's the Marshall attack as well.

You know, if the Ruy Lopez was busted, why is it one of the most popular openings in the world, strange, considering that its busted.
We should really create Theory on the Parham, or the BGD!
How to kill one of the most popular openings by providing a line of nonsense moves.
