Explores the Ruy Lopez Cozio Defence opening (ECO C60). This defence is a hard one to find solid information on as it is the least explored of the Ruy Lopez variations.

  • jrobi

    couldnt the black play pawn to a6?

  • Absolutely - it's a different variation of the Ruy Lopez which I plan on covering in another vid - but it's defnitely an option. Thanks for checking out this one!

  • Thank you jrobi. The video is awesome. Your videos helped me to understand a lot and develop interest in chess. I used to play, but it was just a game for me. Now, it is something serious.

  • That's great Eagle! Keep me posted on how things go!

  • hi jrobi, I've been watching your ruy lopez opening videos and was wondering whats wrong with black moving his pawn to A6 forcing the bishop back earlier in the opening?

  • Nothing is wrong with that at all - in fact it's another very popular variation of the Ruy Lopez. I plan on making a video on those variations in the near future. Thanks for checking out the vid!

  • @6:49 you leave the variation saying white is in a better position, but the knf4 creates a nice fork and continuation for black... Do black's chances sputter out after that?

  • In the Cozio after white castles then black does a3!, then what? Whites fucked. Maybe do some more research!

  • I play this defence.

  • Why you did not play against chessnetwork ?

  • @jrobichess, why in the c3 variation does black capture white's bishop with pawn instead of knight? [...i would check w an engine but i don't have one since i own a mac] .. aren't the doubled pawns an unnecessary positional sacrifice? further, it would seem to me that one of the intentions of Ne7 would be to avoid the doubled pawns, no? thanks a lot for wonderful vids! :)

  • @MrsPoker you cannot castle through check, into check or out of check. However if you block check, you can castle as long as you obey the rules i just mentioned

  • Uhmm, after you get checked, you can't castle anymore right??

  • 1:00

    "And it peed off"

    LOL! Great video!

  • @krillansavillan it's a most played variation, i think, of Ruy Lopez

  • I played this once and won!!!!! PS it's a good variation, bit closed but still very good!
