Re1 is not usually played. Two of my articles on this site showed games with this variation. http://www.chess.com/article/view/ruy-lopez-open-defense and http://www.chess.com/article/view/ruy-lopez-open-to-rudeness
Ruy Lopez Open Variation
Sort:
after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 Nf6 5 0-0 Nxd4, is Re1 winning back the pawn ok and what happens after that? This is the variation I don't like playing in so can someone help me with it?
