This Week's ChessVideos Show: The Quick Ruy Lopez, Part 6: Part 2 on Berlin Sidelines
Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 10:02PM We continue our very long-lasting series on the "quick" Ruy Lopez this week with another look at Berlin sidelines. This time around, it's the variations 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.Re1 and 5.Qe2 that come under scrutiny. Those of you looking for ways to avoid the "Wall" may want a look, and those of you who play the Berlin almost definitely will. (Next time, we start looking at the main line, i.e. the endgame that arises after 5.d4 Nd6 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.dxe5 Nf5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8.)
The show is here and it's free (free registration required), available on-demand for the next month or so.
