Ruy López Opening
Ruy López Opening Rodrigo (Ruy) López de Segura (c. 1530 – c. 1580) was a Spanish priest and later bishop in Segura whose 1561 book Libro de la invención liberal y arte del juego del Axedrez was one of the first definitive books about modern chess play in Europe, preceded by Pedro Damiano's 1512 book, Luis Ramírez de Lucena's 1497 book (the oldest surviving printed book on chess), or the Göttingen manuscript (authorship and exact date of the manuscript are unknown). He was born in Zafra near Badajoz, and he studied and lived in Salamanca. In 1560 he won a match against Leonardo di Bona in Rome. In 1574–75, Ruy López lost the first known international master chess tournament, which was held, at the invitation of King Philip II of Spain, at the Royal Court of Spain in El Escorial, close to Madrid, to Leonardo di Bona, a Calabrian lawyer, and to Paolo Boi, but placing ahead of 4th (and last) place finisher Alfonso Ceron. The Ruy Lopez Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5) is named after him, as is a variation in the Petroff Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Qe7). For more theory, see next pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruy_L%C3%B3pez_de_Segura (Wikipedia) http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=78728 (Chessgames) title page Libro de la invencion liberal y arte del juego del axedrez (translation: Book of the liberal invention and art of the game of chess) is one of the first books published about modern chess in Europe, after Pedro Damiano's 1512 book.

An Investigation Into the Openings Used by Top 100 Chess Players
ISSN:1306-3111 e-Journal of New World Sciences Academy 2007, Volume: 2, Number: 2 Article Number: B0001 HEALTH SCIENCES ENGLISH (Abstract: TURKISH) Ramiz Arabacı Received: January 2007 University of Uludag Accepted: April 2007 [email protected] 0H © 2007 www.newwsa.com Bursa-Türkiye AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE OPENINGS USED BY TOP 100 CHESS PLAYERS ABSTRACT The aim of study is an investigation into the openings used by top 100 chess players. The chess games (n=2046) that 70 players, who took part in Top 100 list, played during January-April 2006 period were examined. The frequencies and percentages of the openings used were calculated. Separating the chess players into five different age groups, the frequency values and percentages of the openings they used, and the winning, defeating, and drawing were calculated using the Chi-Square Test and evaluated statistically. In conclusion, it can be claimed that Top 100 players prefer Semi-Open Games most; the winning, defeating, and drawing percentages change depending on the increasing age and the kinds of openings played; and the best opening is Caro-Kann for Whites, French Defence for Blacks, and Petrof’s Defence for a draw. Keywords: Chess Players, Opening, Sports, Tactics TOP 100’DE YER ALAN SATRANÇ OYUNCULARININ AÇILIŞLARININ İNCELENMESİ ÖZET Çalışmanın amacı, top 100’de yeralan satranç oyuncularının uygulamış oldukları açılışları incelemektir. Top 100’de yer alan 70 satranç oyuncusunun oynamış oldukları Ocak-Nisan 2006 tarihleri arasındaki satranç maçları incelendi. Satranç oyuncularının ortalama yaş ve ELO hesaplandı, ülkelere göre sporcu sayısı ve uygulanan açılışların frekansları ve % değerleri çıkartıldı. Satranç oyuncuları 5 farklı yaş grubuna ayrılarak, uygulamış oldukları açılaş türleri ile galibiyet, mağlübiyet ve beraberliklerin frekansları ve % değerleri çıkartılarak istatistiksel olarak Chi-Square Testi ile değerlendirildi.

Chapter 7 Some Francois Andre Danican Philidor Websites
CHAPTER 7 SOME FRANCOIS ANDRE DANICAN PHILIDOR WEBSITES It seems websites move around and disappear since this was transcribed in early 2017.

OPEN GAMES They start: 1. e2-e4 e7-e5 XABCDEFGH 8rsnlwqkvlntr( 7zppzpp+pzpp' 6-+-+-+-+& 5+-+-zp-+-% 4-+-+P+-+$ 3+-+-+-+-# 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" 1tRNvLQmKLsNR! Xabcdefgh WHITE SAYS: You're expecting the Ruy Lopez? Tough. I'm going to play my favourite opening and see what you know about it. It could be anything from a wild gambit to a quiet line. You'll soon find out. BLACK SAYS: These openings really aren't so scary. I'm well prepared: I can reach at least an equal position whichever one you choose. Go ahead and do your worst. XABCDEFGH 8rsnlwqkvlntr( 7zppzpp+pzpp' 6-+-+-+-+& 5+-+-zp-+-% 4-+-+P+-+$ 3+-+-+-+-# 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" 1tRNvLQmKLsNR! Xabcdefgh Most of these openings fall into one of three categories: 1. White plays for a central break with d4 (Scotch Game, Ponziani, most lines of Giuoco Piano and Two Knights). 2. White plays for a central break with f4 (King's Gambit, most lines of the Vienna and Bishop's Opening). 3. White plays quietly with d3 (Giuoco Pianissimo, Spanish Four Knights). We also look at some other defences for Black after 2. Ng1-f3, from safe defensive systems to sharp counter- gambits. What should Black do next? Ideas for White: Adults will expect the Ruy Lopez while juniors are more used to this sort of opening. So it's a good idea to play the Ruy Lopez against juniors, and, for example, the Giuoco Piano against adults. Most of these openings lead to open positions. Rapid, effective development and King safety are the most important factors. Don't play the Ng5 line against good opponents unless you really know what you're doing.
