The Tarrasch Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined is a fierce
counter-attacking line arising after 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 c5. In
this variation Black gains free and easy piece play but in return
usually has to accept the structural weakness of an Isolated
Queen's Pawn (IQP). In the early development of chess theory this
line was somewhat frowned upon due to the vulnerability of the IQP.
However, Siegbert Tarrasch, after whom the opening is named,
famously declared that, "he who fears an Isolated Queen's Pawn
should give up chess". The Tarrasch has had many powerful adherents
over the years including the legendary Garry Kasparov who made much
use of it in the early part of his career. In this book Cyrus
Lakdawala guides the reader through the complexities of the
Tarrasch and carves out a repertoire for Black, based on a modern
treatment popularised by the Russian grandmaster Daniil Dubov. He
examines all aspects of this highly complex opening and provides
the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative analysis.
Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening
and contains instructive commentary on typical middlegame plans. *
A complete repertoire for Black to counter 1 d4. * The question and
answer approach provides an excellent study method.
