Ruy lopez..(Spanish Game)
Above is the starting position of one of the most popular openings in chess, the Ruy Lopez. This position is reached by playing the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5. From here, there are a number of possible variations.
The Ruy Lopez, called the Spanish Opening or Spanish Game outside English speaking countries, is a chess opening characterised by the moves:

1. e4 e5

2. Nf3 Nc6

3. Bb5

The theory of the Ruy Lopez is the most extensively developed of all the double king pawn openings. At nearly every move there are many reasonable alternatives, and most have been explored deeply. It is convenient to split the possibilities into two groups based on whether or not Black responds with the Morphy Defence (3...a6). The variations with Black moves other than 3...a6 are older and generally simpler, but the Morphy Defence lines are more commonly played.

Black defences other than 3...a6

Of the variations in this section, the Berlin and Schliemann Defences are the most popular today, followed by the Classical Defence.[1] The Steinitz Defence was important at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

• 3...g6 (Smyslov Defence or Barnes Defence)
• 3...Nge7 (Cozio Defence)
• 3...Nd4 (Bird's Defence)
• 3...d6 (Steinitz Defence)
• 3...f5!? (Schliemann Defence)
• 3...Nf6 (Berlin Defence)
• 3...Bc5 (Classical or Cordel Defence)
• 3...g6 (Smyslov Defence or Barnes Defence)

sicillia opening
The Sicilian defence is one of the famous defences against the white’s 1.e4, in which black will reply with 1… c5.
variation :

2) Nf3 d6
3) d4 cxd4
4) Nxd4 Nf6
5) Nc3 g6

Najdorf Variation: 5...a6

Classical Variation: 5...Nc6

Scheveningen Variation: 5...e6

Dragon Variation: 5...g6

Another Sicilian variation is the classical that is accomplished by the following moves:
1) e4 c5
2) Nf3 d6
3) d4 cxd4
4) Nxd4 Nf6
5) Nc3 Nc6
Or yet another series of moves:
1) e4 c5
2) Nf3 Nc6
3) d4 cxd4
4) Nxd4 Nf6
5) Nc3 d6
This opening is the most common of all Sicilian Defences. Novice players can easily learn the theory behind the opening. The opening causes the king’s side pawns to be weakened. But the black’s centre pawns are much solid and useful that could give positional advantage to the black pieces. This variation can transpose to different variations as well. The Classical variation can be transposed to the Scheveningen Variation after 6) Bc4 e6, Classical Variation of the Dragon after the moves 6) Bc4 g6 or to the solid Boleslavsky Variation after 6) Bc4 e5.
