Center Game: Berger Variation
Overview
Center Game: Berger Variation is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C22), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 8 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 Nc6 4. Qe3 Nf6 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Center Game: Paulsen Attack Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Center Game: Kupreichik Variation.
