The Berlin Defence by Michael Roiz Every player who meets 1.e4 with 1…e5 needs a reliable

response to the Ruy Lopez, and The Berlin Defence is an ideal solution. Ever since Vladimir

Kramnik used the Berlin to shut down Garry Kasparov’s best efforts in their 2000 World

Championship match, practically all of the world’s top players have successfully incorporated the

“Berlin Wall” into their repertoires.

 

The Berlin Defence by GM Michael Roiz presents a complete repertoire for Black after 1.e4 e5

2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6, offering top-class antidotes to anything White may try. From the famous

Endgame Variation to recently fashionable tries such as 4.d3, Roiz combines cutting-edge analysis

with insightful positional guidance.

 

Grandmaster Michael Roiz reached the top 40 in the world. He has won Olympiad Team Silver for

Israel, as well as many tournaments over the years. In recent years he has focused more on seconding

elite grandmasters in top tournaments such as the Candidates and so far one World Championship

match. The author can be contacted via chessbasic.com.
