This book is not yet featured on Listopia. When you have watched it a few times, then you can make use of the Explorer and it will make a lot more sense to you. Sam Shankland has a 4 video course on starting the Ruy Lopez that might be the next step. Good luck! Yes and no. The "most used lines" are popular for a reason, and moves with triple-digit use numbers or more are almost always trustworthy.
However, from time to time what appeals to GMs are not suitable for us mere mortals, as illustrated in the following example:. Starting from move 6, all the moves are the most popular according to Chessbase's live book. An early draw by perpetual check, though, is obviously not enjoyable for a blitz game at chess.
So, how do we know when to follow the most popular line and when not to? You may dive into different lines the most popular, 2nd, 3rd and so on , develop your own understanding on each and choose the line you're most comfortable with.
This, however, is a time-consuming process. Repertoire books, videos and online courses will hopefully help you understand these lines faster. Please bear in mind also that your likely opponents at your level probably won't stay with "book" moves for too long.
You may be tempted to memorize long sequences of moves, but that's not the best use of your time. Try to learn the typical plans of the opening instead. The Ruy Lopez often involves very subtle repositioning of your forces in order to eke out a slight advantage. Luckily your opponents probably won't have either the patience or knowledge to do so. Baddogno: Thank you for the input. Do you feel that there is a better opening to follow as a low level player?
I only picked the Ruy Lopez because a friend plays that, and I like that I can castle fast. Any suggestions are always welcome. Your'e welcome Matt- try some lesson on here too, they are really good and you will definately improve. I've been doing A LOT of the tactics trainer. Thought I might change it up and look at some openings. I'll second Anat's suggestion that perhaps the Giuoco Piano is a better place to start.
