The Ruy Lopez is the most popular chess opening in the history of the game. The Ruy Lopez, also known as the Spanish Game, has been played by nearly every world chess champion in the last few hundred years and continues to enjoy immense popularities at all levels in the 21st century. So just why does everybody like to play the Ruy Lopez so much? Although the Ruy Lopez has been studied very deeply and the theory is extensive, chess players are still using the Ruy Lopez because it is exceptionally versatile. There is still room to maneuver in the Spanish Game, for both sides! This chess opening really pushes you to combine profound positional strategy with immediate tactical vision, truly testing the comprehensive skill of both opponents. The follow chess video excerpt from the 5.5+ hour chess DVD ¨Rocking the Ruy Lopez¨ by Grandmaster Leonid Kritz features a detailed introduction of the main ideas in a very double-edged system of the Ruy Lopez – the Arkhangelsk Variation!
