Good games by Tarrasch
Compiled by waddayaplay

A collection of games of Siegbert Tarrasch . The collection focuses on strategical games.

Short intro:Tarrasch valued superior mobility higher than a position without weaknesses (unlike Steinitz). He also had a keen eye for combinations and for exploiting weaknesses in his opponents position, and a determination to play the opening very carefully.

For the interested, some fundamentals of his doctrine: 1. Mobility is the most important.
2. Mobility gives the initiative.
3. Mobility creates plans. Because when you have mobility, the plan is to keep it and to increase it. 4. Knowing how to plan is a highly important knowledge. Without it, your position with get worse and you will lose the initiative.
