“Before The Tarrasch Defence was published the opening was considered dubious, but now that it is here, all super-GMs have been recalled to the laboratory. All main lines have been repaired, including those no one knew were broken. [...] The book is ground breaking and sets new standards for the future of opening books.” – GM Sune Berg Hansen

“The high-quality Grandmaster Repertoire series has taken this format to a completely different level.” – GM Michael Adams
