by Seigbert Tarrasch, 366pp. (Hays 1999)
The English language edition of the classic "Dreihundert Schachpartien" translated by Sol Schwartz. Siegbert Tarrasch's classical system as shown in three hundred of his best games. The German edition of this book was referred to by Reuben Fine as "a monument to our game." This classic includes Tarrasch's autobiographical sketch woven throughout the games. This is a tremendous studybook for learning the principles of chess. Easy enough for juniors and lower rated players.
Tarrasch takes the combinational school of Paul Morphy and combines it with the positional school founded by Wilhelm Steinitz. The result is a powerful system of chess play utilized by the greatest masters since the turn of the 20th century.
