W: Carlo Pastor
B: Rhal Sol Cruz
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6
Among the popular openings, it is the Ruy Lopez where Rhal is ill-prepared. The only line he prepared was the Marshall Attack, with NM Gatus last October, for the ASEAN Primary School Sports Olympiad in Jakarta, Indonesia, his first international stint.
Though 3... a6 is the most popular reply by GM standard, maybe it would do Rhal good if he simply follow the basic principle of development of pieces, thus 3... Nf6 - Berlin Defense or 3... Bc5 - Classical Defense.
