The German book on the Tromp is called : "Der Trompowsky-Angriff im Damenbauernspiel", the author is Gerstner, ISBN: 3-929376-18-0.


The book was published in 1995 and re-printed in 2002. Be warned, since the 2002 is an identical copy of the 1995 book - with no changes/additions/modifications what so ever.

I guess this is the book you are talking about:

http://www.kaniaverlag.de/htm/indisch.html#tromp

Unfortunately it is "nicht mehr erhältlich" (i.e. out of stock)

You do not mean the CD by Knaak, I guess ?


Opps, I think the tromp book is actually a few years old. I think it is by the same company that made the books on nc3, and chigorian.

De la Villa's already done one (2000?) in which he did extol the virtues of 2 Bg5 c5 3 Nc3!?. Quite an interesting book, although Wells picks up on some of his most creative analysis and then comments/further improves on it.

 
Can you follow this book if you dont speak spanish? Oh is there a web site one can get this from?

Wells doesn't have much to say about 3.Nc3: he flags it as ?! and says that he doesn't think White has enough after cxd4.

I sure hope to see a new tromp book. (there can never be too much tromp!), but it's quite impossible since everyman just released a tromp book  Shocked 

What I would like to see is a non-English GM writing on the Tromp, like Prie or the Spanish GMs Bellon Lopez, De La Villa etc. They seem to play the Tromp rather differently from the english school (generally avoiding Bxf6, for example 2... c5 3. Nc3!?), and a book from them will be refreshing.

Does anyone know if Everyman is planning to release a Trompowsky edition in their Starting Out series?  GM Gallagher would make a great author for this book, given that he wrote a Tromp book for Everyman back in the late 90's.
