This aggressive counterattacking repertoire covers Black opening systems against virtually every opening except for 1.e4 (plus most flank games), based on the exciting and powerful Tarrasch Defense, which helped win Kasparov and Spassky championships. Black learns the Classical Tarrasch, Symmetrical Tarrasch, Asymmetrical Tarrasch, Marshall and Tarrasch gambits, and Tarrasch without Nc3, to achieve early equality or even an outright advantage in the first few moves. This is an important opening book for aggressive players looking for an edge.

This is an excellent opening book.And I say that as someone who, in the past, has looked askance at some of Schiller's works, regarding them as mass-market "pulp" productions which exalted quantity over quality. Schiller is one of the most prolific authors in the chess world, but in too many cases his prolificity has seemed to come at the cost of quality.
This book is a notable exception to that trend: lengthy, thorough, and detailed, it presents all the information a player needs to take up the QGD Tarrasch in earnest. Schiller covers strategy, tactics, pawn structure, ideal placement of pieces, typical ideas, things to watch out for on both sides, etc. He illustrates all these concepts with scores of high-level master games, including a number of games by Garry Kasparov himself, who used the opening powerfully vs. the world's best players in the 80s.
This book will pay big dividends to beginner and intermediate players interested in taking up this combative opening. (I'm only rated about USCF 2050 myself, so I can't speak for advanced players; but I believe there is plenty of useful information in this book for masters as well.)
Definitely one of Schiller's best opening books. I feel I've gotten every penny's worth for this one, and much more. (If only all Schiller's books were this well done!)

Complete Defense to Queen Pawn Openings edition by Eric Schiller Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
The problem with this book is that it really seems like the author and editor didn't care about putting out a great product.
There are lots of problems with this book. There are far too many typos (it's hard to edit a chess book, but come one!) and the organization is horrid. It's easy to miss crucial subvariations, and the lack of proper indexing, combined with poor organization, makes it very hard to find the game you need.
Schiller's "strategic overview" in the beginning is a great idea, but it's executed poorly. A few examples concerning advancing the d-pawn here (rather than just scattered throughout the book) would work wonders.
So why two stars? Well, because despite its numerous flaws, I find myself using this book a lot. There aren't any other good books on the Tarasch defense these days, and it's an excellent weapon for the club player. There is a lot of good information in here, it's just so hard tofind!
This book covers the Tarrasch Defense which can be used against White's opening moves of c4,d4 and Nf3. The defense is quite sound and allows many various counterattacking and initiative advantages for Black. There is plenty of theory and analysis available for variation affecinadoes but some pawn structures available after exchanging pieces may leave some in disarray during middle and endgame play. Overall the author covers interesting lines of play and leaves the imagination and creativity to the reader. Remember, more chess play equals more experience and victory.
This is a typical Cardoza book in that editing, proofreading, and careful production were not part of the equation. I can't understand why this publisher seems to take pride in sloppy work. That out of the way...
Schiller admittedly loves to hype the things he loves, but that's fine. He is a big fan of the Tarrasch, but he backs this with solid knowledge and extensive practice, so it all works to the good. And that's the upside of Cardoza's line of books they brim with enthusiasm, excitement, interesting ideas, and above all a philosophy of getting out there and winning. After a couple of hours with this book, you just can't wait to get out there and play and try out your new ideas. That's no small thing--- how many chess books make you want an afternoon nap instead?
There are few full books to be found about the Tarrasch. Schiller's book fills a real hole. (The other book I know of is Aagaard and Lund's "Meeting 1. d4" which, while quite good, is more theoretical and dry.) Schiller definitely concentrates on ideas and typical plans and tactics for both sides. The writing style and presentation is cogent and easy to follow. You cannot get through this book without having a thorough conception of the flow of the Tarrasch. Enough material is presented on variants and alternatives to make the book a reasonable enough reference, though you might have to hunt around a bit; of course the book is not "theoretically complete" but it never seemed intended to be. As a good practical introduction, this book will have you playing the Tarrasch in tournament games rather quickly (as it is doing for me).
Later on if you want to become a complete Tarrasch specialist you'll need a little more material, such as a game collection. But for getting going and learning the concepts, this book will take you quite far. You just have to grin and bear it when really obvious typos appear multiple times in one line.
Overall 4 stars for content and sheer enthusiasm and energy; one star off for poor editing.
I like this book. It isn't the best editing and some of the analysis is a bit dated, but the basic strategic overview of the Tarrasch is just right for an amateur. Having a general idea of where the pieces go and why is very helpful in sensing where the position is headed.
I believe that just relying of the first chapters can help black get a playable game. An example is that this set of stuff. The black player is trying to set up the pawn skeleton of e6-d5-c5 and getting his Knights to c6 and f6. Knowing that the Knight belongs on c6 before the Knight on f6 can save a lot of pain.
The book does not have the most recent GM games and that is okay for my learning purposes. The ideas against white's attempts to avoid the Tarrasch are also helpful.
All in All for my purposes, this is a great way to learn an opening. Ideas before rote learning.
This is an excellent opening book.
