The Spanish Game, or the Ruy Lopez, is the richest opening in chess, and, even though it has been extensively analyzed and studied by probably every Gm and theoretitian, there are still many traps you could fall into! I tried to make a list of the best traps in the Ruy Lopez for both white and for black.

Some are basic and simple, traps only beginners could fall for, but many are very advanced, traps which even Grandmasters have fallen for and lost as a result.
