The Opening is Ruy Lopez C68 Exchange Variation. Chess 365 has moves until 12. Bg5 in their Opening database.

Stockfish Analysis this witha Depth of 20 moves as being +0.00.

56 Kf5 [1 D=0.05] Rf3+ [1 D=0.1]

best reply Kg4 difference 2.75

So strong showing for both combatants, and I am impressed with teh accuracy of moves espacially when only very small differences in the Evaluations are shown.

@Ponderable

I find myself playing someone who up until recently was rated at about 1,000 but is now rated more than double that. It is a truly great achievement and one which I would like to replicate! (Hey who wouldn't want to double their rating in two months?) I asked him his secret and (I'm giving this one to you all for free!) he said giving up alcohol and watching opening videos on YouTube.

So there you have it. I believe his explanation and now feel guilty for asking the question.
