It is a truism in chess that understanding the ideas behind an opening is much more important than blindly memorizing a mass of variations. For no opening is this more true than for the Spanish (Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5), an opening that often leads to deep strategic maneuvering battles. Experienced Grandmasters seem almost clairvoyant when handling Spanish positions. Of course it is not witchcraft, but a through knowledge of the typical themes and maneuvers that enable them to have their pieces where they need them, when they need them. This book provides a painless, easy-to-assimilate course in these themes, while providing specific knowledge in lines where specific knowledge is necessary in the various gambits at Black's disposal.
