Would anyone care to take White against me in a game with this opening? I just picked it up, and need some ideas.

I like open Lopez's as black but the opening can suck for white.
It's the one you learn after scholar's mate & the Italian.

Well.. these games can be found at the official site of the event:

Anyway the Berlin is a heavy analyzed variation of the Ruy Lopez and you can easily find thousands of games online.

Ciao.

I just got the PGNs, and I think you are mistaken. The only Ruy Lopez that is played in this match is the Morphy Defense (Closed). Interesting games though, and thanks for the tip.
