What is your opinion on the Ruy Lopez opening? Do you think it also has any significant weaknesses? Thank you!

The weakness is the drawish Berlin which is tough to avoid.

Other than that I don’t recall any cons other than the middlegame being hard to play for beginners and intermediates.

The biggest weakness of Ruy Lopez is their fandom.

It was invented by a priest, so it cannot be very good.

True virtue must be found in devoting ones life to chess.

I called Trump's ICE and tipped them off that an undocumented immigrant called Roy Lopez was hiding out at the chess club.

My personal opinion is that its actually better than Italian or Scotch. But it's only my opinion.

bad opening

You have to know how to play it. Especially defending against Bird's defense

The game you posted had a weak defense. And i don't think rating matters here.

When it comes to openings, you have to study as many lines as possible, not just know the standard moves.
