Ruy Lopez: Nürnberg Variation
Overview
Ruy Lopez: Nürnberg Variation is a named branch in the Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO C60.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
Play reaches this position via 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f6, after 6 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Ruy Lopez, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
