| InspiredByMorphy: 3. ...c6 is an original move! Black didnt understand the importance of development, but then again Im sure most didnt in the 16th century. |

| Willem Wallekers: <MatrixManNe0: 4... Bg4 was error. A handy trap that I should remember!>
Indeed, rule of thumb:
first Nf6, then Bg4. |

| Jaymthegenius: black had a good set up with c6, though 4...Nf6 would probably be better, or 4...Be7, this game is like an early Fischer defense! But without exf5, perhaps fischers defense was played then at some point? Still, they play bad in that times! |

| halcyonteam: Beware of the trap! Nice combination of Bxf7+ then Nxe5+ forking Bishop. |

| Chopin: I have to admit, this is my most favorite 16th century game. |

| Whitehat1963: Who would have won a match between Lopez and Greco? Or Greco and Philidor? Or Lopez and Philidor? Any opinions out there? |

| Gioachino Greco: <whitehat1963>It's too difficult to gauge the relative strength of Lopez and Philidor to answer that question. You might have a better chance with Philidor and Greco--Philidor has several blindfolded/odds/simul games preserved (about sixty, I believe), and something like a dozen games in his "Analyze". Greco, if you include variations, has 120 games--many probably composed, though one would assume he could play them if he could compose them. |

| realbrob: I always have the impression that when they played with Black those players had no clue of what they were doing. They seem to play to allow winning sacs. It's one of the first things they usually tell you when you're an 11-year-old boy who is learning to play chess: develop your pieces, castle as soon as possible, and keep out an eye for sacs on f7. |

| bvwp: I think I can remember once seeing a copy of a painting wherein da Cutri is standing and looking pleased with himself, and Ruy Lopez is still bent over the board, a beaten man. Does anybody know about this painting? |

| wolfmaster: It;s too bad that we cannot gauge Lopez's strength as almost all his games were quick and resulted in a tactical trick(like this one). |
|

| wolfmaster: 9...Qe7??, 9...Be7 was a lot better. |

| Gilmoy: An unread novel visits me in my dreams, softly entreating to be written in the way an Alaskan Malamute will croon for his dinner portion in the morning. It teases me by loosening its, ahem, covers, exposing a glimpse of its first line: <My father had three great hobbies in his life; as for myself, I am named Ludwig van Nistelruuy Lopez.> |

| just a kid: Nice tactic. |

| WhiteRook48: basic tactics overpower your opponent.
Why didn't Ruy Lopez play the Ruy Lopez opening? :D |

It was painted by Luigi Mussini in 1882, according to this source. |
