gee all this analysis (i gave up with looking over the posts around page 6 of this thread) almost makes me wanna join the "challenge CMS bandwagon"
btw, go get 1700!
I know! Look how close I am now! I'm on an awesome streak right now, with only one loss since it started, and that was to Idioms who's over 1800.

Hello All!
I'm new to this site and have and would really appreciate some opinions regarding a certain line in the Ruy Lopez Modern Steinitz Defense. I'm rated about 1500 and am working to improve my Ruy Lopez games when playing white.
My question is: After the moves
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bb5 a6
4.Ba4 d6
5. ? what would be the best continuation: I like Bxc6+ but what are the strengths and weaknesses to this move? Also, any ideas on the following lines would be most helpful.
5.Bxc6+ (I'm particularly interested in opinions regarding this line...is it a "bad" move? Why or why not?)
5.0-0
5.c3
5.d4
Many Thanks,
T.H.

Game 3146852
Korch chose the (in my experiences) rather obscure 2...Bc5 Classical Defense.

I just started taking notes on my games (through the notebook) and I'd be glad to post those.
The game should begin to get interesting (Korch slaughtering me) right about now.
