Ruy Lopez as Black - 2008/08/23 04:43 Hello all,

I am new to this website and found the discussions on the Ruy Lopez interesting. I love defending with the 2 Knights Defense as black and I'm often faced with my opponent playing the Ruy as white. I understand that this opening has been a thorn for black for many years and I have trouble with it as well. Therefore, I am on a mission to understand every facet of this opening from the prospective of the side playing the black pieces and would be very grateful for any recommendations on literature or dvds that cover strategy for black. I already have one book on playing the Ruy as black, but it doesn't really explain the reasoning for why the players make the moves that they do. Thanks again.

both of these will have information on any line in the ruy lopez. I recommend checking the web for a few ideas, then if you still aren't sure buy the everyman chess version of the ruy lopez. http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Out-Lopez-Everyman-Chess/dp/1857443217

Ruy Lopez as Black - 2008/08/24 08:46 wow...Kev_ofla have a pluffera of choices (a lot) but if you looking for just some ideas try this one, i think its the easiest. (Beginner Opponent/White/Classic Opening)
1)e4 e5
2)Nc3 Nf6
3)Nf3 Bg4 Ruy Lopez!
Now because im still learning about chess i really dont know the chess Gambits too well. But you can always change this setup for your style of play. This was just a few moves! My 2 cents....
