This Week's ChessVideos Show: The Berlin Finale
Saturday, July 23, 2011 at 9:50AM
The series on the "Quick" Ruy moves on, but our look at the Berlin ending comes to a close in this week's show. Rather than plow through all the theory on the non-...Kc8 lines, I highlight one particular approach that has seen some very high-level tests the past year or two, and that's 9.Nc3 Ke8 10.h3 h5. I survey the different plans available there and show how superstars like Carlsen, Anand, Kramnik and Shirov have handled the position for White and/or Black. This should help make it a bit more accessible, I hope!
The video is here and is free, as always (free registration is required for first-timers), and available on-demand for the next month or so.
