6 Re1 in the Open Ruy Lopez I think that 6 Re1 in the Open Ruy Lopez is very underestimated. What Glenn Flear recommends against it in his book Open Ruy Lopez seems to lead to very unclear positions. What do you guys think about... Started 08/28/08 at 04:42:11 by Anonymous3 « Pages 1 2 all »	22	21699	09/08/08 at 01:44:08 By: Markovich

Open Ruy Lopez Literature There doesn't seem to be much of this lately. There was Flear's book in 2000 and I've heard about Krasenkow's book published mid '90s...but that's all.
