The books in the "Modern Chess" series are exactly meant to help chess players at most difficult levels of knowledge to master certain systems and Openings in the fastest possible way. This book was written in the same way and with the intention to make accessible an extremely rich and extensive area as Ruy Lopez Defense is to the chess players of all profiles. Our desire was, therefore, to achieve the highest possible quality.
The Ruy Lopez chess opening has long been seen as white's best chance for an advantage after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6. Many top players and coaches believe your improvement as a chess player depends on your understanding of the Ruy Lopez chess opening.
The Ruy Lopez teaches you a lot about the classical principles of the chess opening, and the Closed Variation, with 9 h3, will deepen your understanding of chess. No matter which side of the Ruy Lopez you find yourself on, you will learn much about chess.
Of course, an opening with as much history as the Ruy Lopez will have acquired a large amount of theory. Do not let this stop you from playing one of the most respected chess openings, but take your time and enjoy every small step towards mastering the opening.
