The Berlin Wall

The Berlin variation of the Spanish is one of the most popular openings among world class players. After

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 Black can play a completely sound opening based mainly on understanding

rather than memorizing theory. Many opening books make this claim, but the scarcity of forcing lines in

the Berlin mean that in this case it is true. The trick is to gain the requisite understanding, and this is

where John Cox’s eloquent prose comes into its own.

John Cox is a lawyer and International Master from London. He is an experienced author whose

previous books have received high praise.
