The Ruy Lopez (; (:ˈruj ˈlopeθ/ˈlopes)), also called the Spanish Opening or Spanish Game, is a chess opening characterised by the moves: :1. e4 e5 :2. Nf3 Nc6 :3. Bb5 The Ruy Lopez is named after 16th-century Spanish priest Ruy López de Segura. It is one of the most popular openings, with such a vast number of variations that in the ''Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings'' (ECO) all codes from C60 to C99 are assigned to them. ==History== The opening is named after the 16th-century Spanish priest Ruy López de Segura, who made a systematic study of this and other openings in the 150-page book on chess ''Libro del Ajedrez'' written in 1561. Although it bears his name, this particular opening was included in the Göttingen manuscript, which dates from c. 1490. Popular use of the Ruy Lopez opening did not develop, however, until the mid-19th century when Carl Jaenisch, a Russian theoretician, "rediscovered" its potential. The opening remains the most commonly used amongst the open games in master play; it has been adopted by almost all players during their careers, many of whom have played it with both colours. Due to the difficulty for Black to achieve equality, and the fact that Lopez was a priest during the Inquisition, a common nickname for the opening is "The Spanish Torture". In a ''Chess Notes'' feature article, Edward Winter provided a collection of historical analytical articles (1840s–1930s) focused on the Berlin Defence.〔Edward Winter, "(The Berlin Defence (Ruy López) )", ''Chess Notes''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruy Lopez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
