Ameitanos, i use this occasion to thank you for your kind email full of interesting suggestions. I have been really unpolite and I never sent you an answer. I will try to apply your suggestions, i'm currentlly reading bagirov's book on the IQP and after that i will look at your volume.  Thanks for everything, and good luck for your next book! (since it looks like this one is already doing well on its own Smiley)

there is only 17.Nxb3 in the book (page 142). We say that otherwise Black plays Ba4. This is what Delchev did. He got a really promising position at some point, but now it seems a bit better for White i think. Anyway, i think that this idea passed the first high-level GM test regerdless of the result!

The Tarrasch has already received GM tests in the Europ Ch in Bulgaria. In the first round Giri won with White with an interesting idea but it seems that objectively Black had no problems in the opening and now, at the moment i am writting these lines, Delchev (!) is playing with Black the critical variation after 9.dxc5 Bxc5 10.a3 Ne4 with the pawn down against Bacrot!

(For the Giri game, check here: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8013)


The Bacrot-Delchev game looks OK to me for Black at move 20 (just human assessment, don't have any engine available). Up to what move was that covered in the book?

Hm. Okay. Thank you. I thought I had to be missing a gamelist somewhere.

I do not think there is a list of the games, but I do not think all of the Grandmaster Repertoire series have game listings. The only one I remember that has one is GM7 Caro-Kann by Schandorff.

Loving the book, having spent about a year in the 90s playing the Tarrasch vs 1 d4.  I wonder if there is a list of the games that I might import into my database? I could not find any such list in GR 10.


May I ask again - where/how may I find the main games used for this book?  Huh

J.H.Donner, De Tijd, 1 February 1958:

"EVANS - LARSEN
1. d2-d4 d7-d5 2. c2-c4 e7-e6 3. Nb1-c3 c7-c5
Larsen has done this more often. Before I have to play my match against him, I must look up why. Officially, the line is known to be unfavourable for Black."

Interesting book review. It seems like a lot of the Grandmaster Repertoire books had many top level games in those openings. I wonder if the top 10 GMs will eventually try the Tarrasch in tournament play.

Yes, there is a chesscafe review by Hansen and this one
http://www.schachversand.de/e/detail/buecher/11273.html in German. I am not aware of other revies. If anybody has seen one let me know please. 

Trandism is right, the situation in Greece make us all feel bad. I had planned a big presentation of the book in my city but we cancelled it because we didn't feel like doing it. We watched in the news yesterday the big support we got from all over europe from simple people on the streets. I felt like i wanted to say a big "thanks". Actions like that make us feel more human, because the last months we are getting constantly the feeling of being treated like animals.

And "Gilchrist is a Legend" (by the way what does your name mean?) has been a great supporter from the beginning. A big thanks to you also  Smiley


Yes, my username refers to the renowned Australian wicketkeeper/batsman Adam Gilchrist who has the record for the second-fastest test century, amongst other accomplishments. Basically a super-grandmaster of cricket, comparable in talent to Aronian or Ivanchuk of chess. Or if you watch football, comparable in talent to Edwin Van der Sar or Petr Cech.

I am always a fan of Grandmaster Repertoire books, especially this one due to the originality and new analyses. It should rejuvenate the opening at higher levels. The Dutch seems to be played more often at GM level nowadays, so after this book has been published, why not the Tarrasch too?
