The Tarrasch Defense has long been considered a double-edged weapon in Black's arsenal against 1.d4. While offering dynamic counterplay, it traditionally came with the burden of an isolated d-pawn and positional concessions. Modern Chess presents a groundbreaking course that challenges these conventional assessments through the innovative concepts of GM Baadur Jobava and IM Kushager Krishnater.

We're excited to present a brand-new course by GM S.P. Sethuraman, offering a powerful and modern repertoire for Black based on the bold and dynamic Tarrasch Counter-Gambit — 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c5.
In this repertoire, GM Sethuraman explores a rare but aggressive response to the Queen’s Gambit. The move 2...c5 immediately challenges White’s center and offers Black a fast track to unbalanced positions filled with counterplay, initiative, and surprise value. The Tarrasch Counter-Gambit has gained new momentum in recent years, with elite players like Hikaru Nakamura, Vladimir Fedoseev, and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov using it across all formats.

We are happy to present the newest opening research by GM Pavel Eljanov. This time, he provides a complete repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5
Actually, the idea of the database is not to provide another Tarrasch repertoire. The cornerstone of the current survey is the position arising after 4.cxd5 cxd4!?
For a long period of time, this gambit line was considered to be quite dubious. Recently, however, Grischuk found improvements for Black, thus bringing the entire concept back to life. The tests on the highest level proved that the variation is completely playable.
Of course, in order to provide you with a complete solution, Eljanov examines White's main alternatives on move 4 - 4.e3 and 4.Nf3.
