Scoring against the Berlin Defence

The Berlin Defence keeps on going and going and going. Many players avoid it,
but those who accept the challenge find themselves, after only nine moves, in
a position from which it is extremely difficult to win the game. Yet, GM Vugar
Gashimov of Azerbaijan won the said endgame twice in the 10th Poikovsky tournament,
one of the top events you will finde in
the latest CBM 131 – and here is one of the two games with his own
annotations, which you can replay on our JavaScript board: Gashimov
– Naiditsch.
