Trying to think of a totally inane subject for a pointless thread.

Trompowski has been analyzed ad nauseum in the chess threads, most impressive for redundancy.

6.9

@morphyms1817 How about analyze the Ruy Lopez to death, starting from move 1?

I knew I had it in me if I would set my nose to the grindstone.

@SavageAntarctican
Yes that's awesome. Or, are there more of: atoms in the universe, or variations of the Ruy?

7.14

@SavageAntarctican
Your sentence is better, I like that you take it back to 1 e4 e5...

Everything that does not have a real name is called The Ruy.
Score not applicable..this post is purely sarcastic .

#132...7.2

#134...6.8

[ Everything that does not have a real name is called The Ruy. ]

Following that logic I'll apply for the commentator's job of the next Candidates Tournament.

@morphyms1817 #135 How about I take it all the way back to the starting position?

@SavageAntarctican
Wait are you suggesting Ruy Lopez theory be modified such that move zero is the start of the opening?

0 -- --
1 e4 e5
2 Nf3 Nc6

@morphyms1817 No like we look at every single theory line from move 1 out.
