Nov-24-16  The Kings Domain: Good vintage game. The back and forth between the combatants in countering the other's moves is quite the thrill.
Aug-11-22  10 in 1 Tool: Perhaps the first Berlin Defense in Berlin!

4...Bd6 looks a bit shaky but Black won.
The famous Berlin Draw in Kasparov - Kramnik world championship 2000 was 4...Nxe4.

Aug-12-22  sudoplatov: 4...Bd6 looks much better after White's Bxc6 and Black's dxc6; now it looks like one of Rubinstein's lines in the Exchange Variation.

  FSR: 5.Bxc6? is an extraordinarily accommodating response to 4...Bd6?!, making that move look brilliant.
