Bb5 Bb5 The Portuguese is an uncommon opening. In contrast to the Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 , by delaying Nf3 White leaves the f pawn free to move and retains the possibility of playing f4. The trade off is that White s lack of pressure on e5 leaves Black with a freer hand. If Black replies 2...Nf6, White can try a gambit with 3.d4. Another Black reply is 2...Nc6, possibly hoping White will transpose into the Ruy Lopez with 3.Nf3, but a more popular try is to kick White s bishop with 2...c6. The game might continue 3.Ba4 Nf6 and now White can play 4.Nc3 or 4.Qe2. Graham Burgess remarks that it looks like a Ruy Lopez where White has forgotten to play 2. Nf3.

It was introduced in the game Alexander Konstantinopolsky Konstantinopolsky Viacheslav Ragozin Ragozin , Moscow Category 1956 in chess 1956 . 3.g3 is an illogical move, since White s light squared bishop can already develop via the e2 b5 diagonal. This means that either White s 1.e4 or his 3.g3 pawn moves were wastes of a tempo move . Therefore, White has lost a move in which he could have developed another piece, and is giving Black the chance to take a lead in development by bringing out one of his own pieces e.g. 3...Bc5 In particular, if White chooses to develop his bishop via the e2 b5 diagonal, he will leave undefended holes on the light squares of his kingside, which will be a major weakness in the middlegame, particularly if he chooses to castle on the kingside. For these reasons, the Konstantinopolsky Opening is never seen at the top levels of chess, although some grandmasters such as Savielly Tartakower who experimented with numerous unusual openings have experimented with it.
