	Siegbert Tarrasch Information
		Siegbert Tarrasch (March 5, 1862 – February 17, 1934) was one of the strongest chess players of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
		Tarrasch was Jewish, and a patriotic German who lost a son in World War I, but lived to suffer under the early stages of Nazism.
		However, Tarrasch was still very powerful during Lasker's reign, demolishing Frank Marshall in a match in 1905 (+8-1=8), and becoming one of the five original grandmasters by becoming one of the five finalists at the very strong Saint Petersburg tournament of 1914.

	Siegbert Tarrasch - Definition, explanation
		Siegbert Tarrasch (March 5, 1862 –; February 17, 1934) was one of the strongest chess players of the late 19th century.
		He stated what is known as the Tarrasch rule that rooks should be placed behind passed pawns —; either yours or your opponent's.
		Tarrasch may have been the best player in the world in during the early 1890s, but after Emmanuel Lasker became world chess champion, Tarrasch could not match him.

	The Game of Chess
		One could make the case that Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch was the strongest player in the world at some point during the 1890s; he also played at a world-class (top five) level throughout, and somewhat beyond, the first decade of this century, all the while keeping up his medical practice.
		Tarrasch's renowned dogmatism about openings is evident, including his insistence upon the inferiority of many time-proven Black defenses, so any teacher using this text would have to supplement or replace this section with more up-to-date material.
		Tarrasch proudly argues against this, asserting: "Therefore never allow an enemy rook pawn to advance to the sixth rank, but block the advance by playing your own rook pawn one or two squares forward-a principle first enunciated by the author and diametrically opposed to the teaching of Steinitz.

	1908 World Championship Match (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Siegbert Tarrasch was one of the great chess teachers of the early years, and the one whose overly dogmatic theories were the subject of attack by the Hypermodern School after World War I. Unlike Steinitz, who considered himself above his theories at times, Tarrasch adhered to them rigidly.
		Siegbert Tarrasch is a year or two senior to Lasker, and holds an unique tournament record.
		Although Lasker had been ready to play Dr. Tarrasch a match before he won the championship by beating Steinitz, Tarrasch was not disposed to arrange a meeting, his reputation at that time being greater than the present champion's.

	Tarrasch, Englisch
		There is much to say for the notion that Siegbert Tarrasch had an excessive need for public recognition in order to compensate for the feeling of social inferiority of the Jew.
		It becomes clear that Tarrasch, growing up in such an environment, certainly belonged to the Jews in the German Empire of that time, who believed that an assimilation of the Jews in Germany was possible and necessary.
		Tarrasch’s road to assimilation and his strategy to withdraw from reverses and repeated disappointments by especially and conspicuously "being German" (as if anti-semitism was something rational, which could be refuted by clear explanation) led - in a socio-political retrospective view - not to a solution.

		He challenged Tarrasch but his challenge was declined.
		Tarrasch, however, was unable to attend due to professional commitments.
		Lasker was convinced that Tarrasch had hypnotic powers and therefore wanted to play the match from a different room.

		At the famous Hastings tournament of 1895, Dr. Tarrasch came second to the great Pillsbury, and at the great Nuremberg tournament of 1896, Dr. Tarrasch came second to Dr. Lasker.

	Book Reviews by IM John L Watson
		I would describe his teaching method as a 'standard positions' approach, in that he believes that exposing the student to a great number of fundamental and essentially-recurring positions will develop his or her intuition, a process, in his words, 'analogous to that a mother uses to teach her child to talk'.
		Tarrasch's renowned dogmatism about openings is evident, including his insistence upon the inferiority of many time-proven Black defences, so any teacher using this text would have to supplement or replace this section with more up-to-date material.
		Tarrasch's popular historical image is that of a follower of Steinitz who rather dogmatically followed the latter's ideas while expanding them to embrace the virtues of quick development and space control.

	Tarrasch, Deutsch
		Tarraschs Dogmatismus kann zwanglos durch seinen Kampf um Anerkennung als Jude unter Deutschen erklärt werden und vieles spricht dafür, daß Siegbert Tarrasch ein übersteigertes Bedürfnis nach öffentlicher Anerkennung hatte, um das Gefühl der gesellschaftlichen Minderwertigkeit des Juden zu kompensieren.
		Tarrasch hatte in erster Ehe fünf Kinder, drei Söhne und zwei Töchter.
		Der zweite Sohn Tarraschs beging Selbstmord, während der dritte Sohn 1916 in München von der Straßenbahn überfahren wurde.

		Although the term Plachutta is confined to the world of chess problems, not being used in a wider chess context, the underlying Plachutta pattern does occasionally (though rarely) appear in an actual game.
		One example is to the right, a position which occurred in a 1914 game between Siegbert Tarrasch (with white) and an amateur (quoted in John Littlewood's How to Play the Middle Game in Chess, Batsford, 1976).
		Tarrasch played 31.Bc7!, a Plachutta interference after which fl cannot maintain control over both b7 and c5 (fl actually resigned after this move).

	Hardinge Simpole - Tarrasch's Best Games of Chess
		Tarrasch was the dominant force in European chess in the early 1890's and his ability to win top level tournaments continued via his huge triumph at Vienna 1898 on to the "World Tournament Championship" of Ostend 1907.
		Tarrasch was rightly regarded as the teacher of generations of European and world Masters, hence his title Praeceptor Germaniae - the Professor from Germany.
		Each of Tarrasch's games is a lesson in method and accuracy in itself, hence his wins are superb teaching models for the aspiring chess student.

		We are pleased to present, in two parts, chess historian Harald E. Ball¢'s intriguing essay on Siegbert Tarrasch.

		From today's viewpoint, chess history shows clearly that the development of "modern chess", starting in 1851 with Adolf Anderssen, can not adequately be described without mentioning the achievements of the German Jews Wilhelm Steinitz, Siegbert Tarrasch and Emanuel Lasker, in its at least until 1945 Central European, and with that principally as German characterized, context.

		Siegbert Tarrasch wrote about the game in the tournament bulletin: "Very nice game in the Queen's Gambit was played by Vidmar against Tarrasch; exceptionally flash finish makes this game one of most beautiful at the tournament."
		It's hard to fault Menchik's play here, especially since she seems to have let Vidmar do all the work.
		All this suggests that Tarrasch's plan of attack against White's isolated d pawn is mistaken.
