Description
The Berlin Defence has been a very popular opening in top level chess ever since Vladimir Kramnik famously used it in the 2000 World Championship match to win the title from Garry Kasparov.
Club players usually hesitate to include ‘the Berlin’ in their repertoire because they see the typical Berlin Wall endgame as complex and daunting. International Master Luis Bernal has unraveled the Berlin and made it accessible for amateur players. His practical manual is fully up to date, explains typical formations and strategies, and presents new theories and resources in the old Berlin Wall structures. But these days, the Berlin is much more than just the Wall. Bernal systematically guides you through the labyrinth of the various modern Anti-Berlins with their constant flow of new ideas. He also gives a number of tricky sidelines that could catch your opponent off guard.
This no-nonsense, state-of-the-art guide finally brings this great chess opening within reach of club players. With clear explanations, concise conclusions and educational exercises.
Luis Javier Bernal (1971) is an International Master from Spain, an experienced chess trainer and a well-known journalist.
