Siegbert Tarrasch


 

Siegbert Tarrasch (March 5, 1862February 17, 1934) was one of the strongest chess players of the late 19th century and early 20th century. He took Wilhelm Steinitz's ideas (control of the center, bishop pair, space advantage) to a higher level of refinement. He emphasized piece mobility much more than Steinitz did, and disliked cramped positions, saying that they "had the germ of defeat".
