|
A defence against the Queen's Gambit where
Black seeks piece mobility via an isolated QP. Developed by
Dr.Siegbert Tarrasch (1862-1934), a German chess grandmaster and
voluminous analyst of the openings. |
|
|
After declining the gambit by an orthodox 2..P-K3, Black advances
his QBPawn to QB4(c5)
(move 3, left) in a vigorous fight for
control of White's Q4(d4), tending to leave Black an
isolated QP but gaining active play. |
| White usually fianchettoes
his KB (move 7, right)
and has the advantage if he can retain control of his Q4.
Variations include the
Hennig-Schara Gambit (sacrificing Black's
QP in exchange for a couple of
tempi), the
Symmetrical Variation and the
Tarrasch Gambit. |
