β΄οΈ #about_Tarrasch
πΈ Siegbert Tarrasch
πΈ Grman Chess master
π° Siegbert Tarrasch was one of the strongest chess players and most influential chess teachers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Tarrasch was born in Breslau, Prussian Silesia.
π Full name: Siegbert Tarrasch
π Country: Germany
π Born: 5 March 1862
Breslau, Province of Silesia, Kingdom of Prussia
(now WrocΕaw, Poland)
π Died: 17 February 1934 (aged 71)
Munich, Germany
π° Siegbert Tarrasch, German chess master and physician who was noted for his books on chess theories.
Tarrasch won five major tournaments consecutively between 1888 and 1894. His best achievement was probably in 1898 at Vienna, where he tied for first with the American Harry Nelson Pillsbury, whom he defeated in a play-off match. After 1907 he participated in more than 20 international matches but never placed in the top three positions. Especially disappointing to him was his loss to Emanuel Lasker in 1908 for the world championship. Despite his failures, Tarrasch is best remembered for his books, especially The Game of Chess (1935), which developed and popularized Wilhelm Steinitzβs theories while differing with the master about what constituted a small advantage.
β¦οΈ A memorable game by Tarrasch!π
