Avatar of ATJ1968

can somebody please tell me the move order for the Berlin? It's Mentioned  a lot on chess centre broadcasts. I presume it's a variation of the Ruy Lopez? Haven't had much look in ' search '.

Followed by dxe5 and a queen swap

e5 is not possible there.

Anyway, that's not how it always goes. A main popular line avoids the queen trade with 4.d3

Another line that keeps queens is 5.Re1 Nd6 6.Nxe5 Be7 7.Bf1
