Welcome to Pudddletown’s 2025 September Webinar hosted by NM Austin Tang! Learn Ruy Lopez so you can get a slightly better position as White while playing your peers.
Date: September 21st, 2025
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm PDT
Venue: Zoom (link will be emailed to registrants on the day of the event)
Description:
Most of us were probably taught to play the Italian when we just started out. As you progressed, you started to find more and more tricks (the Fried Liver, the Bg5 pin, etc.), but your opponents also learned and refuted the tricks. In this seminar, Austin will show you why you should learn Ruy Lopez. It allows white to get a slightly better position, even if the opponent plays correctly. The middlegame will have clear plans and even the most experienced players can't refute it.
