I hate em, just loathe that stupid monk sitting in silience in his monastary, who one day thought: Hey, I think I'll play 3. Bb5 !
I HATE RUY LOPEZ!!

Originally posted by DejectionI thought you played a fine game. You contested the d-file early, you were able to trade light-square bishops on your own terms on the b3-square, at an important moment in the game you continued with 17...a5 18.c4 b4 to cement your queenside, you recognized that the pawn thrust 19.g4 wasn't dangerous and you used that time to advantageously double rooks on the d-file gaining a strong positional advantage that White was never able to shake. Your dark-squared bishop maneuvers (Be7-c5-xf2-xh4-g5) were the icing on the cake when White missed your 31...Bxf2. A very clean performance!

In general I find the Ruy is too drawish. It's good on both sides but the Italian is more fun to me.
