Unfortunately Computers handle the closed Ruy Lopez with white very strong as numerous examples have shown. The best strategies and plans for white are often easy to find for the machines. They are not subtle enough. There are also pawn pushes available to open the position or to strengthen the position. A strong machine plays this opening almost perfectly. So I don´t agree. The Berlin Defence is a much more reasonable choice.
