This is off-topic, but my answer goes like this: There are a lot of books on the Ruy Lopez. Here is a link to Chess Digest, as well as the book that I've seen recommended the most for people who want to study the Spanish. Good luck. It's a fun opening, and there are quite a few variations to it. http://www.chessdigest.com/catalog/openings/ruylopez.html C-1779 UNDERSTANDING THE SPANISH -FM Shaun Taulbut (1996). Understanding an opening is more important that knowing a mass of variations. For no opening is this more true than for the Spanish. This most famous of chess openings leads to deep strategic maneuvering battles. Experienced grandmasters seem almost clairvoyant when handling Spanish positions. It is not a sixth sense, but a knowledge of the typical themes and maneuvers that enables them to have their pieces where they need them, when they need them. "This book provides a painless, easy-to-assimilate course, while providing specific knowledge in lines where it is essential - for instance the various gambits at Black's disposal". -publisher. 144 pages, figurine algebraic. ICE. List $17.95, ours $16.15 The "review" comes from the webpage itself, so, don't believe everything you read at chess digest: they're trying to sell their books. Baldo.
