Opening Repertoire the Ruy Lopez
The Ruy Lopez is perhaps the most classical of all chess openings. It dates back to the 16th century and has featured in the opening repertoire of every modern world champion. It is a highly flexible variation: Bobby Fischer used it to create numerous powerful strategic masterpieces. In the hands of Anatoly Karpov it led to many of his trademark positional squeezes, whereas Garry Kasparov often used it as a springboard for his typically powerful attacks. Opening Repertoire: The Ruy Lopez is a modern examination of this perennial favourite. Joshua Doknjas has put together a repertoire for White based firmly around contemporary trends in the Lopez. He examines all aspects of this highly complex opening and provides the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening and contains instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans.
- A complete repertoire for White in the Ruy Lopez.
- A question and answer approach provides an excellent study method.

Praise for this book
Seldom has a book on the Lopez helped me more. A good mix of advice and guidance which is not always apparent in grander writings which often (no disrespect) go over the readers head completely. A tip-top title!--James Pratt
Everyman Chess have already produced several books of high quality on chess openings and have now added another one.--Colin Lyne "British Chess News"
Throughout the book, the author makes reasonable choices that allow the reader/student to acquire a manageable repertoire which is robust enough to challenge even a well-prepared player but also possible to memorize without spending an unreasonable amount of time checking specific lines of play. Summing up, this is a fine sophomore effort by the young Canadian author. 4/5 Stars--FM Carsten Hansen "American Chess Magazine"
