French Defence: Tarrasch Variation - 2nd hand

The Tarrasch variation of the French defence is one of White's most popular choices, and a particular favourite of former World Champion Anatoly Karpov. Here, all lines after 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nd2 are analyzed and illustrative games are used to explain the strategic ideas for both sides. This updated edition includes significant recent games and reassessments of topical lines with the aim of enabling the tournament player to play either side of the opening with confidence. Grandmaster Raymond Keene has written many chess books, including "Batsford Chess Openings" and "An Opening Repertoire for White", and he is chess correspondent for "The Times" and "The Spectator". International Master Shaun Taulbut is a former European Junior Champion and author of "How to Play the French Defence" and "How to Play the Ruy Lopez".
