Book DescriptionDr. Siegbert Tarrasch was the first to formula and express the rule that 'If one piece is badly placed, your whole game is bad.' The genius of this phrase ties in its simplicity as well as it's correctness. Properly applied, it is a significant edition to Steinitz's theory. On the basis of this single axiom, various types of positions can be studied where the difference in force between the two sides is defined only by the difference in location between the corresponding pieces. Applying the Tarrasch Formula in this way develops and builds chess theory by emphasizing the interrelationship between the location of a piece and it's real power. Examine any modern textbook of Chess strategy and you will see its lasting value. The Tarrasch Formula is a fundamental and unifying principle that embraces familiar concepts such as 'Good / Bad Bishop', 'advantage of opposite-colored Bishops in the attack', 'superiority of Knight over Bishop' and so forth.
