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...

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.
