Chessy, the scotch was eliminated JUST BEFORE YOU VOTED. Pretty bad luck, eh?

We're down to the Sicilian Defense and the Ruy Lopez.

Somehow fitting that the Ruy and the Sicilian are the last two. Must be the two best e4 openings. I play the Ruy as White and the Sicilian as Black so I'm torn :/

marvellosity, couple of questions that may help you decide.

What do you play as white against the Sicilian?

When you're white, would you rather that your opponent go into the Sicilian or into the Ruy Lopez?

Would you rather face a well-prepared black player in the Ruy or the Sicilian?

Well, the Ruy is much easier for me to play as there's a lot less theory I have to know to get reasonable positions. a4's rather useful in that regard.

That said, I feel more 'at home' in the somewhat more tactical nature of the Sicilian. Ho Hum.

As I probably prefer the proper Sicilian as a Najdorf (Black) practioner:
