Зигберт Тарраш

This book is about one of the contenders for the world chess crown, Em. Lasker and M. I. Chigorin, German grandmaster Siegbert Tarrasche (1862-1934). Chess historian, master Ya. I. Neishtadg introduces readers to the sports biography of the outstanding chess player, his theoretical views.

Tarrasch has repeatedly emphasized the role that a detailed commentary plays in chess improvement. And the author made an attempt to give the notes an educational character, as Tarrasch did in his time. New recommendations touched not only the debut stage. In the course of the analysis, certain moments of the struggle were reassessed. Some parties received new coverage. This can be traced by comparing notes with earlier sources.
