A discussion in another thread made me realise that I don't know what is regarded as the main line of the Ruy Lopez aka spanish game.Not that I will face it,nor play it myself,but just out of curiousity,which line is it?

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.h3 O-O......not sure how much further this continues while still being considered main line, but I know White's most usual idea is to play c3 to prepare d4, and also play the moves Nb1-d2-f1-g3 eventally.
