    Ok, I've read about this in several books but neither of them explains... How comes the e4 pawn is safe?

    Even if black takes, there is a series of moves that is safe for white.

    I strongly recommend you watch this video on the Berlin Defence.

    Thanks. I suppose 3... a6 4. Ba4 doesn't make much influence on the line?
