Tarrasch article (or book!)

Avatar of ikalel

I heard somewhere that Tarrasch wrote a very interesting article (or book) explaining why he liked to play Bg5.

Do any of you people know where to find such article.  Or, perhaps, it was just an answer to an interview question!?

Thanks in advance.

I believe this phrase (why I like to play bg5) was part of a link.

 

Do any of you know how to use a search engine (any one) to search for a links' text only?  You know, so that I will be able to find, for example, a link that looks like this: Why I like to play Bg5.

As far as I know there are two of his books that have been reprinted in the last two or three decades:

Three Hundred Chess Games; Siegbert Tarrasch; 366 pages; Hays Publishing, 1999

The Game of Chess; Siegbert Tarrasch; 270 pages; Hays Publishing, 1994

Thanks for your post, kinda. Now that I remember, it must have been an answer to a question or an article from a magazine.  If I remember correctly, he ran a chess magazine in Germany for a number of years.  This article (or whatever it really is) might come from one of those magazine issues. 

 

Please let me know if you know how to search for web links only.

It might be hard to find a link to something from about a century ago.

If anyone can do it, you can, kindaspongey.

P.S. I'm the one on the right.

The one on the left doesn't look old enough to be called OldPatzerMike.

And he's too smart to be a patzer.

The link is on a chess website that's about chess, players, and all that stuff.  You know how people upload stuff to their website because they think it's interesting?

Any chance of remembering something about the person who did the uploading? Without more details, I am afraid that your best chance is to try those reprints. I have heard that the two books (in #3) are good.

If I had to face that intent stare over the board, I would probably resign immediately.
