Ruy Lopez: Marshall Attack 850 to 1300

Ladies and Gents.

The Ruy Lopez is very popular and for several good reasons.  It is a good counter to 1. e4, an open style of play, and once you get past the "book" openings, there is some very "rich chess" (i.e. lots of ways to take the play).

This will be two groups of 5, one advancing from each group.  It will start when filled (ASAP - which stands for "As Soon as Possible").

Custom Trophies.  Each person will play every opponent in their group twice, once from the black side, once from the white.

1 day time control and NO VACATIONS.

Almost every tournament I have had the privilege of running has been completed in about a month.

I will make posts in the FORUM of the tournament about the Ruy Lopez.  Links and information.  If you needed an excuse to become a Diamond Member, this might be it.  There are some great videos on the Ruy Lopez available to diamond members.  It comes to about 30 cents at day -- something to consider.  Less than a cup of coffee to get tons of great chess resources.

For intermediate players 851 to 1301!  Two groups of 5 or 10 total players.

Only one spot left.  Also, if you are looking for a little higher rating and 2 day time control (I had several requests) I started a second tournament:
