Dear ladies and gents,

The first formal test of the Dragon system was in Germany, 1887 Tarrasch lost a whole piece there!

The knight exchange is completely wrong. It gives black too much space, then he ignores simple threats. He deserved to lose.

Didn't get it too.

Seamed like an amateur's blunder. Tarrasch migth be drunk, I guess...

What if 12...cxb5, he loses a whole piece too. ???

I think Tarrasch experienced too much believe in himself.

I'm glad to see Tarrasch lost. He was a very dogmatic player, and really mean to my hero, Aron Nimzowitsch.
