    wow if you are seriously talking about me... you do realize that you are a WAY stronger player than me right??? I only play at your level when i'm on the black side of a traxler game and that's because I've studied it with fritz for the past 6 months... I'm more machine than man in that line now.

    if your serious though... umm.. how about the Muzio, it looks sound to me.

    1. e4, e5 2. f4, exf4 3. Nf3, g5 4. Bc4, g4 5. O-O (typically leading to the following response, "what the heck is wrong with you?"😉

    white scores nicely in this line.

    Really, that's only one film (2, counting my profile quote), but I do watch quite a few. Seems like it's applicable to the discussion, though. If there was such a grail, and you found it, how will you know it? What would you do with it? Who would you share it with?

    What? Hey I was repyling to your post. Just play the Ruy Lopez, because it's what a humble carpenter would do.

    I'm also a fan. There may be something better out there somewhere, but coming back to my earlier post, how will you really know when you've got it? Some engine told you so?

    Looking through a couple of your games, it appears that you prefer the Exchange after a6. I'm more of a Ba4'er. Any reason for the preference (if any)? I've only looked through a few games.

    the exchange version is the Russian schools most played move.(it focuses on creating advantages for the endgame)
