This chess opening is called the Ruy Lopez or the “Spanish” opening. It is old opening, named after Ruy Lopez, a 16th Century Spanish clergyman and chess enthusiast. He made a systematic study of this and other chess openings, which he recorded in a 150 page book. However, although it is named after him, this particular opening was known earlier and it is included in older manuscript, dating back to the year 1490. Its popularity did not come until the mid 1800’s when Jaenisch, a Russian player re-discovered its potential.
这种国际象棋开局称为 Ruy Lopez 或“西班牙”开局。这是一个古老的开场，以 16 世纪西班牙牧师和国际象棋爱好者 Ruy Lopez 的名字命名。他对这个和其他国际象棋开局进行了系统研究，并将其记录在一本 150 页的书中。然而，虽然它以他的名字命名，但这个特殊的开口更早为人所知，它包含在更早的手稿中，可追溯到 1490 年。它的流行直到 1800 年代中期才出现，当时俄罗斯玩家 Jaenisch 重新发现了它的潜力.
Here White generally directs pressure on Black’s e-pawn and tries to prepare for a pawn on d4. It’s known that Black’s best reply on move 3 is a6, which attacks White’s attacking bishop. After that, White can back up (Ba4) or exchange pieces (Bxc6).
在这里，白方通常会直接向黑方的 e-pawn 施加压力，并尝试为 d4 上的兵做准备。众所周知，黑方在第 3 步的最佳回应是 a6，它攻击白方的攻击象。之后，白方可以后退（Ba4）或交换棋子（Bxc6）。
