I play this to avoid the Berlin.

[@GMJoseGonzalez]

I don't blame you 😉. But by playing the Ruy Lopez, you miss out on part of the fun of the Four Knights Opening, which includes facing 3...Bc5 and 3...g6 from time to time. Best wishes, José

@@GMJoseGonzalez I agree! It was only a few month ago that I started thinking that I should be trying more openings because maybe there's a something to learn from each of them.
