The Tarrasch Variation provides a stern test for the French Defense, and has always been a favorite of strategically minded players such as Michael Adams and Anatoly Karpov. This has led to Black developing various sharper approaches, which complicate the play considerably at the cost of greater risk. Notable among these lines are systems with 3...Nf6 where Black sacrifices material to gain the initiative, and the modern main line 3...c5 4 exd5 Qxd5. To get the most out of these lines as either color, up-to-date knowledge is essential, and this book supplies it in abundance.
