Navigating the Ruy Lopez Vol.1-3
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.
Game of the Week #385
After six rounds, there are already too many games to choose from, but I decided to pick the game Banikas vs Meier for us to study tonight. The Greek grandmaster is in good shape and won a creative game. The German team is doing well by the way, and is now in second place.
