Cool game
Thanks, I got up and left the board at 17.Nxd4 and my heart was really pounding at 18. ..Rhc8+
Nice, 6. Qa4? gave you a big advantage, when they should play Qd1 to transpose to the main variation of 5. Qa4+ Bd7 6. Qxd4
Hi 11qq11,
Yes 6.Qd1 or 6.Qd2 are both good.
6.Qd1 exd 7.Qxd5 Be6 8. QxQ RxQ is the mainline.
I know how much you love the Tarrasch. LOL
