	1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 c5 is also possible and maybe more in the spirit of the Tarrasch! But you should be well prepared, because White gets some sharp extra options with that moveorder. For instance he can play it like a Noteboom with reversed colours and the game could become very sharp. But 2...e6 is not at all bad and you have some extra options against Queens-Pawn openings too: 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bf4 Bd6, 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 e6 3.e3 f5.

	My copy is ordered too I do have another question: if white opens 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 is black's only chance to get into the Tarrasch then e6 ? Because the 2...Nf6 3.c4 e6 line runs into the unpleasant early Bg5 by white. I woundn't mind playing 2...e6, it just rules out some options against the London, etc.

Moreover, like I said, my friend already has ordered it. And he is definitely not interested in chess. That seems tedious to be a chess opening theory and books aficionado in a faraway place such as Surinam, I thought Australia was far enough. Do not the chess book shops in the Netherlands post to Surinam, like New In Chess or De Beste Zet?

	I let a titled friend borrow my copy, but not before carefully reading the 6.dxc5 chapters and putting them into my database. They are _excellent._ Very well done.

	@Mnb: You can send me your adress and i can mail a copy to you. @Larsen_fan: More than 50 pages are devoted to 6.dxc5. Our suggestion is 6...d4 of course, which is the best continuation. We were very sceptical at first but at the end we believed that we proved equality. The last time we showed the 6.dxc5 line to a GM he said that he won't play it for White! Anyway. we did our best there i think. We hide nothing and state even in the introduction that 6.dxc5 is probably the real test of the Tarrasch, but even there a well prepared player should have nothing to fear.

	Hi I look forward to hearing what line is recomended against 6.dxc5. As white against 6. - Nf6 I go 7.Be3 with the idea g3, Bg2 and maybe transfer Nf3 to b3 via d4 or d2. Against 6 - d4 I dont see how black can avoid the depressing 7. Na4 Bc5 8.Nxc5 Qa5+ and white can choose if he wants a comfortable endgame with 9. Qd2 followed by e3 and queen swap or if he wants to go for action with 9 Bd2 Qxc5 10 Rc1. The line 6.dxc5 is basically the reason I only play the Tarrasch if I can get into it by an alternative move order but maybe this book will change that. best, Larsen_fan

I just have changed my mind on military service, which I ducked 30 years ago. If my military training consists of writing chess books I will join the army too. OK, seriously. A friend of mine is visiting Suriname and he has brought me a few new books. I had ordered yours too, but my friend received it just too late. So I'll have to wait several months more. Sigh.

	I just got my author copies! I have to note that QC team wanted me to be on the backcover with my Army outfit, as i serve at the Greek Army at present (my service ends in few days) and a big part of the book was written while i was in the camp and receving military training. I suppose that the dynamic nature of the Tarrasch Defence fits with my dynamic foto in the backcover, or at least this was the process of though of the editors while trying to pick one among of the 2-3 photos i sent them. I hope to hear your thoughts about the book and be able to help about specific questions you have.

	Lucky enough to get mine a couple of days ago, but only grabbed a quick look before wifey squirrelled it away for me for Christmas... Looks very, very good though.

	My copy arrived a few days ago. In the spirit of english understatement, I'll say it's rather impressive.

	I am currently in India and was considering to buy this book as I am moving to d4-d4 set up as black and this would have helped me a lot from understanding perspective (I have never played any variation which involved IQP and lack that knowledge which can be bridged by some Tarrasch games I guess). Do anyone have any idea how long it takes to get the book in India (Kolkata) from the point I order it from Quality Chess site?

	I think that they are considering a third edition (completely revised) of "Beating the Open Games". I have no idea if they have the same thoughts about the "Spanish Repertoire". 1.e4 e5 is a classic value that will never die.
