The Tartakower defense after 7.… b7 – b6

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

The Tartakower defense is an opening variant in chess , which is part of the Queen's Gambit and therefore one of the closed games .

It develops from the Rejected Queen's Gambit and is named after the Polish grandmaster Savielly Tartakower . In the opening system of the ECO codes , this playback is classified under the keys D58 – D59.

The basic position of the Tartakower defense results from the moves ( see also: chess notation ):

1. d2 – d4 d7 – d5 2. c2 – c4 e7 – e6 3. Nb1 – c3 Ng8 – f6 4. Bc1 – g5 Bf8 – e7 5. e2 – e3 0–0 6. Ng1 – f3 h7 – h6 7. Bg5-h4 b7-b6

The earlier main variant

8. cxd5 Nxd5 9. Bxe7 Qxe7 10. Nxd5 exd5

was supplemented by structures with 9. Bxf6, e.g. B. after:

8. Rc1 Bb7, 8. Be2 Bb7, 8. Bd3 Bb7 and 8. Dc2 Bb7.

The pawn swap on d5 (with 8. c4xd5) is part of White's strategy , which tries to exploit the white-squared weaknesses created by 7.… b6. White opens the c-file for his rook and thereby also targets the back pawn c7. The bishop's fianchetto after b7 is not optimal with a blocking pawn on d5. But if the bishop c8 develops to the other side of the board (after Black has opened the diagonal c8 – h3 with e6xd5), the bishop is missing to defend the queenside (squares a6, c6).

Modifications of the Tartakower defense can through

4. Bc1-g5 Bf8-e7 5. Ng1-f3 h7-h6 6. Bg5-h4 0-0 7. Ra1-c1 b7-b6

or

4. Bc1-g5 Bf8-e7 5. e2-e3 h7-h6 6. Bg5-h4 0-0 7. Ra1-c1 b7-b6

arise.
