I'm no xenophobic or anything now!

But every time I hear or see "the Ruy Lopez" I can't help think of an aging latin lothario, bedazzled with goldy chain and wearing a hairy chest, sucking on a cuba libra down in the club heaving with mamazitas.

I swear this is the image that comes to mind! 

 

PS: Great traps and all around unique insights to be found above.

Not a trap in Ruy Lopez per-se, but I found myself playing a very nice example of trapping a bishop, in a Ruy Lopez -- so thought I'd share.

Legal queen trap is also on Ruy Lopez lines i guess.

Here is a famous trap which 10 masters have fell for but only 2 opponents have spotted. 2400 patzers

It is amazing that Judith Polgar didn't play that move against Spassky. White has practicaly decisive advantage after Bxf7.
