RUY LOPEZ - Morphy Defence
The Classical Defence Deferred

White's light bishop retreated to the board edge.
Black develops his King's Bishop to QB4(c5) and controls White's Q4(d4), rather than continue the Morphy or adopt the Steinitz DD. The "Classical" B-B4 is often the third move in KP games. B-Alt.

 1.	P-K4	P-K4
 2.	Kt-KB3	Kt-QB3
 3.	B-Kt5	P-QR3
