Ruy Lopez, lines with d3.

b5 followed by Be7 and short castle. Afterwards just d5 with equality, but I prefer black.

White will delay castling and will play Nd2-f1.

Korchnoi played this line

White may play Nc3

Okay: play as black from this position:

maybe d5 is possible already. I know the e5 pawn is hanging but very often black gets a better version of the Marshall attack.

I don't like 4.d3 because it keeps queens on the board.  Here's my personal database of 4.d3 in the Berlin:

NONE of your moves are correct according to my database.

Nielsen's move Nd4 is not the main line. Anyway, after Bg5 and Nd5, white is fine.
