	It would be good if you can give us some sample pages in pdf.

	I forgot to say, that it starts with 3...Nf6 as a repertoire, but majority of the book is working on the endgame. 1/3 of the book is about understanding the positions, which is very relevant in this line, but would be less so in a book on the Najdorf.

	Yes.. As Rossia says this could not only be an opening book, but also an ending book.. I'm wondering how much space is devoted to the berlin endgame itself with general ideas about it and not only concrete variations..

	Excellent. I'll buy it even I play Ruy according to Marin's repertoire book. I just hope that I can get some tactics. And by the way I'm working on endings so queens-off strategy is also fine for me.

	Not knowing what John will say, I can say that Kramnik did not write "From London to Elista" and that what he said to his seconds in 2000 is maybe less important than the many top players playing the line in 2008 - and winning?

	rossia wrote on 08/04/08 at 11:01:17: Well John Cox, How can you convince me that I play Berlin, cause I like open/tactical positions. Even Kramnik and his seconds state in book "From London to Elista" that the Berlin is a real torture for Black and very hard opening. As we are both lawyers, I'm awaiting with delight how you'll try to make me buying your book Can you please reply

	oh man I hope John saw the Svidler-Ivanchuk game today on Sochi. Man the Berlin is seeing alot of use here! This is great not only that but Black is on top with 3 wins and 2 draws! Poor Svidler has been a victim twice now. Svidler - Cheparinov 0-1 Karjakin - Wang Yue .5 M Al-Modiahki - Aronian 0-1 V Gashimov - Aronian .5 Svidler - Ivanchuk 0-1

	September 2nd or 9th in our warehouse in Poland. It will usually take another 6-8 weeks for the book to arrive in the US.
