The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings which continues to enjoy high popularity from club level to the absolute world top. In this video series, American super GM Fabiano Caruana, talking to IM Oliver Reeh, presents a complete repertoire for White.
In a total of three volumes, Caruana examines all Black replies after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. The world’s number two not only shows very concrete lines, but also outlines general approaches depending on the demands of each variation. How can White keep track of the manifold solid closed set-ups (e.g. the Breyer)? What’s the best way to defuse the risky Schliemann-Jaenisch Gambit? Which transitions to the endgame against the Open Variation are particularly unpleasant for Black? What are the guiding threads to follow against the Berlin Defence? In short, this trilogy not only provides the viewer with a complete premium Ruy Lopez repertoire, but also with fascinating insights into the mindset and chess understanding of a World Championship contender. Epiphanies guaranteed!

Tras 1.e4 e5 tenemos las llamadas aperturas abiertas. Este orden de jugadas era casi obligatorio antiguamente y por ello alguna de las más famosas partidas en la historia del ajedrez comienzan así, como la Inmortal o la Siempreviva. En la actualidad, los principiantes aprenden en primer lugar las aperturas abiertas, donde nos encontramos con el famoso mate pastor (2.Dh5 Cc6 3.Ac4 Cf6 4.Dxf7 mate). Por otro lado, 1...e5 está considerado como la respuesta más sólida y por ello es la predominante en el ajedrez de alto nivel.
