Jul-29-05 | | Holden: <1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nc6 4.0-0 Bc5 5.c3 Nxe4> 6. d4 exd4 7. Re1 and black can save the knight but there are plenty of ways for black to lose. White's still down a pawn though. |
|
Jul-29-05 | | Eric6312: Yes Holden! I think 7. Re1 is the key I missed. Thanks! |

Jul-31-05 | | who: <e4Newman> Fritz gives 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Bc5 5.c3 Nxe4 6.Qe2 Bxf2+ 7.Kh1 d5 8.d3 Ng3+ 9.hxg3 Bxg3 as better for white. After 6.Qe2!? Bxf2+! 7.Kh1! (7.Rxf2 Nxf2 8.Kxf2 f6) d5 8.c4!? it suggests 8...Bb6 as about equal. After 8...0-0 9.cxd5 it suggest 9...Ng3. After that Fritz is o.k. with all the moves played and gives the final position an evaluation of 2.32 |

Nov-14-05 | | Kriegspiel: <acirce> I went looking for the C65 game(s) your Kramnik quote refers to, and couldn't find any in the database. Turns out they are misclassified C67. For example, see: Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000

 | | tpstar: <hamworld> Yes, that line seems very even for both sides, although White has a slim edge statistically = Opening Explorer Note the Kasparov-Kramnik games in London, 2000 went 9. Nc3 Bd7 10. b3 h6 for Game 1 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000 & Game 3 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000, then 9. Nc3 h6 10. Rd1+ Ke8 for Game 9 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000, then 9. Nc3 h6 10. h3 Ke8 for Game 13 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000 |

|
Apr-03-06 | | refutor: i'm surprised kasparov didn't try 9.Rd1+ v. kramnik...j.polgar has played 9.Rd1+ over the years |
|
Jul-29-06 | | Ness: Lets say 4. O-O Bc5 how should white continue? |
|
Sep-28-06 | | ongyj: After years of my previous post on this page I'm back again! I'd like to seek opinion of everyone on this continuation of the Berlin Wall defence. 4.d3 Bc5(Pretending Black's e pawn falls but in reality it doesn't. If I don't remember wrongly I think Topalov used it against Anand in the tournament he was crowned? Or was it the other way round?) 5.c3 d6 6.d4 exd4 7.cxd4 Bb4+ and Now White can "play safe with 8.Bd2" or try the interesting looking 8.Kf1!? All criticisms greatly appreciated. |

 | | keypusher: Is cg.com trying to give Topalov and Kramnik a hint by picking this for OOTD? |
|
Jan-11-07 | | Bobak Zahmat: <keypusher> Like expected Topalov didn't test Kramnik's Berlin Wall, because that would be just a waste of time. |
|
Feb-13-07 | | druby: Maybe kasparov should have tried the nimzo larsen attack. |
|
Jul-27-07 | | melianis: Looking at the statistics of the opening (closed berlin (Bc5)), it seems like <10.Nbd2 is a very good move. |
|
Jan-17-09 | | blacksburg: Opening of the Day!
the best thing about playing the Berlin is that you get to study Lasker's games. :) http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

May-18-09 | | spirosgr: How about
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4. c3!?
i cant find any games starting like this though |
|
Jul-24-09 | | WhiteRook48: that's because 4 c3 isn't attacking |

Dec-01-13 | | solskytz: I have a very basic question, as a totally non-opening-expert: If black wants to play ...Nf6 early, isn't it more flexible for him to play 3...a6 first? And then on 4. Ba4, ...Nf6? Doesn't this give him more options? Or is there something basic here that I'm missing? Flexible because after 3...a6 and 4. Ba4, he can always break the pin if he wants, by playing ...b5 anytime he sees fit. Explanation please! :-) |
