Aagaard/Ntirlis: The Tarrasch-Defence (hardcover)

Autor: Aagaard, Jacob; Ntirlis, Nikolaos
Verlag: Quality Chess
Erscheinungsjahr: 2011
Sprache: English

The Tarrasch Defence arises after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 and leads to dynamic play. Based on the variation 9.Bg5 c4, Ntirlis and Aagaard radically change the theoretical landscape for this classic opening, with analysis checked many times over and an ocean of new ideas.

Nikolaos Ntirlis is a computer specialist and successful trainer from Greece.

GM Jacob Aagaard has won the Guardian, ECF and ChessCafe book of the year awards, as well as many international tournaments. This is his first opening book for 8 years.
