English language edition. This version of Grandmaster Siegbert Tarrasch's 'Three Hundred Chess Games' is one of the most helpful and instructive chess books ever published. The original German work, 'Dreihundert Schachpartien' was initially intended to be a well-annotated record of three hundred of Grandmaster Tarrasch's best games, but it quickly became a favorite textbook for chess teachers. As more and more copies were sold, the book was eventually recognized as a valuable middle game treatise. Chess players of all strengths can greatly increase their understanding of the game of chess by simply playing through and enjoying these masterful games. As a bonus, Dr. Tarrasch weaves a fascinating and witty autobiographical sketch as he lays out his brilliant system of chess play.The modern chess student will find a wealth of positional ideas, sharp tactics and elegant endings as he studies these exciting and original games. Tarrasch's easily understandable annotations show clearly why he was given the title, praeceptor mundi (teacher of the world). The book is highly entertaining and will lead to a greater understanding of chess by all who use it.
