The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings in existence and enjoys unabated popularity from club level to world elite. In this DVD series, American super-GM Fabiano Caruana presents a complete repertoire for White in conversation with Oliver Reeh.

On a total of three DVDs, Caruana examines all of Black's replies after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. Depending on the type and requirements of the respective line, the world number two not only demonstrates very specific variations, but also shows general approaches. How do you keep an overview in the various solid closed variations (e.g. Breyer) with White? What is the best way to defuse the risky Jaenisch Gambit? Which transitions into the endgame are particularly unpleasant for Black against the Open Variation? What is the common thread against the Berlin Defense? In short, with this trilogy, the viewer not only gets a complete premium Spanish repertoire in his hands, but also gains fascinating insights into the mindset and chess understanding of a super grandmaster - aha moments guaranteed!"
