I'm looking to add the Tarrasch to my repertoire after 1.d4 e6 2.e4.

C00-C19: Tiviakov on Nd2
I thought it would be a good idea to start this topic, since this will be en vogue rather soon.
Does anyone have it yet? It would be interesting to know what he recommends against the Qxd5-line. Started 08/29/13 at 10:14:28 by Neric |

C08,C09: 3..c5 4.exd5 exd5! French Tarrasch book?
Why do so few French books have the variation 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. exd5 exd5 instead of 4....Qxd5? 4...exd5 seems to be a complete equaliser whilst 4...Qxd5 leads to an inevitable += with sh...

I've been looking at this (diagrams below) and finding a few non trivial questions. The line I'm interested in is where black expands on the queenside after white doesn't take on c5 early.

C03-C09: 3...Nf6 in the Tarrasch! Rest in peace?
I find the variations with 3...Nf6 very interesting but it seems everyones now goes to 3...c5. Also the statistics tend to favor 3...c5 for black. What variation do you play and what do you think?
