Whoa. And I mean wow! This is one of the most excellent explanations for the Ruy Lopez opening. Also, I would like to commend your superb analysis on its different variations. Again, thanks alot! It really made an impact on my Chess gameplay!

Three months after watching this video, I now thank you for helping chalk up at least two more wins per 10 games played. The Spanish variation really works! Thank you very much.

Derek these videos are absolutely brilliant, I love how you explain the reasons behind moves, and your the first to really sell they ruy Lopez to me! These ate by far the best chess videos on youtube! Thank you so much for uploading and please keep it up!

Fantastic video. Big thanks and love from UK. I will definitely be playing more Rui Lopez openings as a result. Cheers.

11 years ago no way!!! Talk about being ahead of your times in terms of video quality

I always recommend Mr Kellys' videos for my students of all levels. He is so good at his pedagogy! The videos are so well structured and designed, and his speech and diction are perfectly clear without thick distracting foreign accents! GREAT WORK!

Thank you so much Chris, I greatly appreciate this! Very kind of you! :)

just love your videos...a lot of videos don't put as much focus on the reasoning and thought patterns...its like you are giving us the thinking out loud point of view which is awesome...most videos say they will give that then get lost in the variation and forget the beginner like myself would still need basic explanations and reasoning along the way...thank you so much!

Excellent Videos! Knowledgeable Instructor / excellent teaching style and covered key aspects! Great job!

Your Insight and explaining of the opening and the ideas behind each and every move are awesome. Ive been in search of a video that doesn't just have pieces on some board with quick explanations. Thank you for the vid's and please keep up the amazing work. This will surely help me expand my opening knowledge and hopefully get me past 1600 and maintain a good level of play. Thanks again

Gifted teacher and fantastic series of videos. So valuable and well done.

One of my favorite openings, thank you for effort and all other videos :)

Thank you so much for these videos! The Ruy Lopez is one of my favorite openings as White, as it is straightforward. I highly recommend it to all beginners.

awesome videos...simply no words to say, you are more than excellent....

Love your videos Dereque! They're what got me into chess

Have to congratulate you for having the best chess beginner videos on youtube! Most seasoned chess players arent able to go back and understand what chess looks like for someone whos new to it and take many things for granted which a beginner hasnt yet wrapped his head around, very good and detailed explanation, im finally beginning to understand the mindset of chess openings and the most important squares to look out for! I havent checked many of your videos yet but i think for someone like myself who just begins to find interest in chess a video detailing the various agressive and defensive potentials in early game would be great. Something like pointing out which squares are easily attackable by which piece and some simple two or three move attacks, like both queenside knight and kingside bishop being able to defend the e4 square rather quickly or knights being able to quickly block pawn advances without looking at specific openings. More a video about general square strength in the opening position so we the new players get an idea of what the board looks like on a deeper level (not all squares are equal :P). Im getting the feeling that its quite possible to apply a scale to each square detailing how easily attackable and defendable it is.

Thanks for the question! Actually I went past this point entirely too quickly :( Check out the video Ruy Lopez vs. Italian Game where instead of racing past this point...I dwelled on it! Essentialy, though, White gets good play after 6.d4! but the topic is a little more interesting than that.

Very informative, when I started learning about Ruy Lopez in other KZread videos, I get confused of what is actually the goal of white, so I just kind of memorize it, which is very ineffective because you would just eventually forget it. But this made me understood the concept behind this opening. Now I know how to play with the Ruy Lopez nicely and not panic when the opponent doesn't follow the variation. Keep up the good work

Very good Daniel! This is great to hear!!

thanks for the help sir kelley, hope you have more videos that can help beginners in the openings

Good question! When you're just starting out focus on learning the fundamental principles behind the opening (develop pieces quickly, control the center, etc.) and practice them in your games. Reuben Fine's "The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings" is a good starting point. As you acquire some practice and learn about the openings, if one strikes your eye for any reason, consider studying it with a book or any other tools you might have. You can do this for either White or Black -Dereque

thank you! happy new year caroline!!

Pleasure to watch!

What stops black from playing bishop to g4 instead of castling? any advanages to this?

These videos are excellent, and the information is top quality. I have definitely improved as a result.

Glad to hear you've found the videos helpful :) 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 is known as the Petrov Defense. The standard replies are either 3.Nxe5 or 3.d4. Your move 3.Bb5 would not be so effective if I were Black I'd simply play 3...c6 and later I'd probably be in a good position to play ...d5 or even take on e4.

thank you sir.. loved your explanation...

Very good, this is great to hear! :)

Your presentation is very conducive to assisting a novice player in learning about the openings! This has always been my gripe with chess: if a novice player faces one knowledgeable with openings he loses valuable time in musing over openings, risking a blunter, while his opponent just follows tried-and-true textbook moves. Thanks again for the videos!

i like this lol, also the way you come back into the video as if nothing has changed, lol great

Very good Video...Thanks a lot ! I used to play Italian Game, but now I'll start to try Ruy Lopes..

I completely agree with you on the weakness of the e5 pawn - that pawn, I've found, can be a pain in my rear against somebody who knows black's side of the Spanish (or maybe I just don't know it well enough myself - the only opening I've studied in depth is the Sicilian Dragon). And yeah, I forgot to mention Black's inability to castle in the Berlin, something I'm definitely a fan of as White. Thank you so much for your well-thought-out (and quick!) replies to my questions!

It is quite interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
