Our "quick" series on the Ruy Lopez continues as we sneak up on the Open Variation. In fact, this episode takes an early look at the Open, albeit at the interesting but somewhat dubious Riga sideline. Along the way we have a quick look at 5.Nc3 as well as d4 on move 5 and 6. Neither is terribly threatening, but Black should know a little something about them before getting surprised at the board. Main lines are on the way!

The show is free (as always) and will be available on-demand for the next month or so.
