The Ruy Lopez - Basic Plans, Ideas & Strategies - Chess Openings - IM Andrey Ostrovskiy

[@signorinitravel]

Amazing work creator. This video for me has the highest rate of learning because your method of teaching is just optimal. Camera on the board, few key main variations, low and steady voice tone. All perfect.

[@signorinitravel]

Plus finally a real chessboard!

I'm a hardcore e4 player myself. Ruy Lopez was one of the first openings I learned. Thanks for the vid!

[@kesakhan]

I've watched so many videos on the Ruy Lopez game, this has to be the best and most simply explained one I've watched. Thanks a lot!

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks for your nice comment. Don't forget that the playlist on the Ruy Lopez contains additional instructive videos. Hope you like them as well!

[@darrylkassle361]

I am pretty much a patzer and for once a clear cut video that explains things simply so I understand and come away with something practical. This is a high quality chess channel.

[@darrylkassle361]

His not only a high quality player but also a high quality coach with clear explanations of what is going on. So often you get great players who know how to play but not how to teach/explain /articulate. The explanation followed by concrete examples allows for a practical understanding.

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks for your nice comment. Good to hear that you like the way the content is presented and explained.

[@casual_chess]

Thank you for such a superb series

[@Chessfactor]

You're welcome 🙂. Many more videos in this series are waiting to be watched. Hope you like them.

[@noskin.noproblem]

Thanks for this video. It helped a lot. Most videos I watched wouldn’t actually go into detail why not exchanging the bishop for the knight results in a good game for white, because it seems like retreating with the bishop to C3 is a waste of development opportunity and getting control of e5 very early on. Thanks for showing some possibilities for this line.

[@muradnnolaki6788]

Great explanation Andre.... Keep up the good work please...

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks! Stay tuned for the upcoming videos!

[@AndreasInLondon]

At 3:27 you played two moves in a row with white. Bb3 then A4. How would black respond to the Bb3 move? b4 push seems nice covered by the Knight or Nd4 which forks whites Knight and Bishop.

[@mobileuser453]

thanks for this amazing opening

[@Chessfactor]

Welcome!

[@saketkumar1979]

Excellent.

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks!

[@dkpandey1996]

Since it has so many complex variations and different pawn structures, according to you what should be the minimum rating at which a player can learn Ruy Lopez opening theory?

[@BigReno73]

very well explained thanks

[@Chessfactor]

Thanks Mark!

[@ilyaibrahimovic9842]

What are the major differences between giuco pianissimo and closed Ruy Lopez, other than there being no Berlin or Marshall to worry about? If GMs are concerned about the Berlin getting pulled out against them why not play more Italian?

[@ariyanreon5502]

It was very useful 👍 thank you for the information now i am better at chess but can you tell me the name of the trap to trap good players/bots please I am very grateful for the information

[@kinglarryIV]

At 6:08 after c3 is Bg4 for black not good?

[@jeremy1909]

4:30 what if he pushed his pawn to b4 and prevent knight c3?

[@sourandbitter3062]

I think it loses time because why not play Nf6 and develop instead and that it also weakens c4 so Nbd2 to c4 is an idea. Plus White could later try a5 and isolate the b4 pawn.

[@E4zyp34zyl3m0nsq33ZY]

What board is that ? Is it easy to roll up and take with you ?

[@Chessfactor]

At the end of the video description, you can find a link to the website, where you can buy the chess set. Yes, you can roll up the board. Hope that helps.

[@E4zyp34zyl3m0nsq33ZY]

@@Chessfactor thank you , also do you have a recommendation for a good timer ?

[@johnbubby2374]

do you have a link to the board and pieces? thanks

[@Chessfactor]

For the video, we have chosen this chess set: www.bestchesssetever.com/collections/chess-sets/products/triple-weighted-pieces-green-board

[@amaliaivan5237]

The thing about the ruy Lopez is that you don't develop quickly enough

[@thetaomegatheta]

The explanation is not clear. What is the significance of d5? Why is black limited to either Nc6 or Qc7 at about 7:35 mark?

[@overratedprogrammer]

I am so bad lol. When I watch videos like this I feel like I understand everything but I feel like I'm playing such good players on anonymous lichess. They're always so fast and have a counter for everything I do. I'm ordering some chess books because my mid/end game is basically non developed since I don't really know where to learn that. I've been doing lichess puzzles 🤷‍♂️
