The Ruy Lopez (also known as the Spanish Game) is an extremely popular
opening and one of the oldest in the history of chess. It has been
played by virtually all the greats of the game, providing the battle
scene for many world championship clashes involving the likes of
Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik. Now, for the first time in many
years, Grandmaster Glenn Flear investigates the main line of the Lopez,
outlining the crucial ideas and tactics for both White and Black. Using
illustrative games, Flear studies the fashionable and theoretical
variations, plus the tricky sidelines. This book is perfect for those
wishing to play the positions with either color.
