Carlstedt: Die Tarrasch-Verteidigung CT What should you do againstHave you been looking for a suitable answer to 1. d4 for a long time? Then I have something for you: The Tarrasch Defense! In my opinion, this is an unjustly underrated opening that is only occasionally played at world class level. The idea behind this system is simple. Black accepts an isolated d pawn in return for active piece play. In order to evaluate the resulting positions, it is especially important to know how to deal with the isolated d pawn.
