The Ruy Lopez, also known as the Spanish Opening, is one of the oldest and most famous chess openings. It begins with the moves:

1. e4 e5

2. Nf3 Nc6

3. Bb5

 

In the Ruy Lopez, White's third move, Bb5, pins the Knight on c6 and exerts pressure on the center. The Ruy Lopez aims to control the center, develop pieces efficiently, and prepare for a strong kingside attack.

It has been extensively studied and played by many world champions and top-level players like Magnus Carlsen , Bobby Fischer , Garry Kasporov , Fabiano Caruana throughout chess history.
