C06: Preparation Depth, How deep is enough How much theory does one need to know to have a real fighting chance against 2200+ players? In this game below IM Ari Ziegler says that after 14..g5 black needs to know ten more moves of theory... Started 09/30/11 at 17:01:03 by Reverse	14	15468	12/03/11 at 18:00:49 By: dom
C03,C08: 3..a6, 6 Be2 c4 Tarrasch 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. Now t... Started 08/30/11 at 08:47:58 by MartinC	1	2520	08/30/11 at 17:24:17 By: dom
C06: French Tarrasch ...Nf6 9.Nf4 Exchange Sac Hi, I don't know the name of this particular line, just its pedigree. I've been playing it since about 1988, but this was one of my best efforts in the line. It was a correspondence game: [pgn][Eve...\|/pgn] Started 06/02/11 at 03:52:26 by Smyslov_Fan	9	9338	08/27/11 at 15:03:32 By: dom
C03: French 3.Nd2 Be7!? In this interesting variation (3.Nd2 Be7) 4.e5 c5 5.Qg4 is recommended now. Is here somebody who has analysed this ? Started 10/24/06 at 22:25:36 by Strategy_Rules	10	10001	07/05/11 at 19:30:12 By: Paul Cumbers
C03: 3...Nh6 in Tarrasch Today I was wondering about the line 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nh6!?/?! Obviously not on the cutting edge of theory, but a further 'insult' to the Tarrasch French (...h6, ...a6) and one that isn...

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? Started 12/04/10 at 22:19:14 by Pingudon	11	12668	12/28/10 at 15:52:12 By: JonathanB

C06: Is this variation a refutation? I love to play 3... Nf6 against the Tarrasch but I find this variation very difficult to beat. 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Bd3 c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ne2 cxd4 8.cxd4 f6 9.Nf4!!!! Would you enter in t...

C06: Tarrasch 7...Qb6 In big trouble? This looks like a very dangerous line for Black.

C03-C09:Can Black do whatever he likes in Tarrasch Recently I discovered that 3...f5 comes very close to equalising for Black against the Tarrasch, and interestingly 3...a6 and 3...h6 also suffice for equality. If such ugly looking moves suffice for e... Started 01/10/10 at 07:00:03 by TN	14	13794	01/18/10 at 11:44:58 By: dom
C03: Looking resources on the Tarrasch with 3...f5 One of my students is experimenting with 3...f5!? vs. the Tarrasch.

C05: Tarrasch: Why 8...g5 rather than 7... g5? IM Kevin Goh Wei Ming has looked at 8... g5 in the 3... Be7 Tarrasch this month.
