the Ruy lopez.

im soo confused with it! grr.

help?

hmm what seem to be the problem ? with white, black or both ?

Yep what's up bro, tell us & maybe some one can help you?

Maybe its too subtle for someone who hits things?

keep in mind that as black systems although not as successful without 3...a6 are alot easier to understand.

The cordel or classical is an easy system to learn.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Bc5 is always good.

or if you want to throw your oppanant of with an ultra sharp system maybe try the schliemenn

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5!? which has been used with success by the likes of morezevich and Carlsen.

What are you having trouble with? Do you not understand the main lines of the opening? Or do you fall for some kind of trap that you need help with? Please explain and maybe I could help you.

Berlin defense with 3...Nf6 avoids going a mile into book moves.
