"Berlin Wall" by John Cox Amazon has just informed me that the book will not be available at all. Can John or anyone give an update on status of publication or who is selling it now? Started 06/25/08 at 16:17:17 by cma6 « Pages 1 2 ... 7 8 9 all »	121	59609	09/14/09 at 13:33:02 By: TimS
Classical Ruy Lopez (C65) Although I have never played this line over the years I have looked at it on and off, being attracted by some of the traps and the fact that I haven't weakened my queenside which can occasionally be a...

Berlin - early 9...h6 Just browsing through Cox: Berlin Wall, I realize that he deals with lots of 9th move alternative for Black, just to mention 9...Ne7 (with and without Ng6 in the next move) , 9...Bd7, 9...Be7 and 9......

Help with understanding the Berlin! Hey everyone, I've just started experimenting with the Berlin Defence which to me seems to be a pre knowledge opening where you have to know the underlying strategy very well. I'm hoping som...

Berlin help! Hi all. I've been playing the Berlin for about a year now (i'm aware of its drawish reputation akin to the Petroff) but I enjoy holding the two bishops as trump. A rather dull line that i've been... Started 05/06/08 at 23:48:56 by trw	12	5142	05/16/08 at 20:14:45 By: trw
Books Covering the Ideas Behind the Berlin ?

Ruy Lopez - Classical (rare side line) Does anyone know anything about the following line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O Bc5 5.

Berlin sources I’m doing a book on the Berlin for Quality Chess and I’m interested in any (preferably English-language, but I’m not that fussy) sources.

The Berlin Endgame So what's White's front runner against this at the moment? My impression is that he's still pretty much thrashing around and getting nowhere in particular. Maybe you've just got to pliy, as Sheil... Started 08/02/06 at 12:27:36 by IMJohnCox	12	5040	08/14/06 at 22:55:05 By: Strategy_Rules

Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defence with 7 ...Ne4!?
