Opening Overview: Ruy Lopez: Schliemann Defense

The Ruy Lopez: Schliemann Defense (C63) is a distinct Ruy Lopez variation, defined by the move f5. Historically played by Fabiano Caruana, this system highlights long-term strategic squeezing.

Strategic Context: While Bb4 is the consensus choice, f5 offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move aggressively controls e4.
