chessgid=197462&move=2.5&moves=e4.e5.c3The Lopez Opening or MacLeod Attack is a chess opening characterized by the moves

:1. :2.

White's second move prepares to push a pawn to d4, establishing a strong center. Play can potentially transpose to other openings, most likely the Ponziani Opening or the Göring Gambit in the Scotch Game. However, in"Unorthodox Chess Opening", Eric Schiller states that the opening is too slow, and that Black can respond vigorously with 2...d5! to eliminate transpositional possibilities and solve all of his opening problems, as after 1.e4 e5 2.c3 d5! 3.exd5 Qxd5 there is no 4. Nc3 to chase the queen away and gain a tempo.
