If you're a chess nerd, and/or an AI nerd, this might entertain you.

I'm Dyslexic_Goat on chess.com. Yesterday, Stockfish 10 invented a 7th-move variation to the Berlin Defense, and I'm working on mapping the opening out on LiveBook a bit. Feel free to add thoughts, I'm all ears.

I'm roughly 1100 in USCF (not ELO), so I may be interested.

Also, I am interested in AI, too. I've never played the Berlin Defense, I normally just go with the Philidor, so I wouldn't know much.

I'm no master either. I've always loved seeing what engines can come up with, though.

The mainline Berlin is e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 Nf6 0_0 Nxe4 Re1 Nd6 Bxc6 I think, so this "new" opening is in a relatively offbeat line, haha.

I'm a 1600 player on lichess. anyone wanna play with me? I am chessboy88
