gehört Fischer zweifellos, und es wurde sogar ein Buch über seine Verluste

das Damengambit ist eine sehr starke Eröffnung. Den Ausgleich hat Schwarz
damit noch lange nicht erreicht.} 5. cxd5 {Das ist ganz klar die kritische
Variante. Andere Fortsetzungen bereiten dem Nachziehenden wenig
Schwierigkeiten.} ({Weiss kann natürlich auch eine Symmetriesituation
anstreben, in der er am Zug ist, und} 5. e3 Nc6 6. a3 {spielen. Doch das
bietet nicht so gute Aussichten auf Vorteil wie der Tausch auf d5.}) (5. Bg5

drei Antworten. Jede von ihnen hat deutliche Schattenseiten.  Zur
Tarrasch-Verteidigung gelangen wir, wenn Schwarz mit dem Bauern wiedernimmt.
Damit willigt er in einen Einzelbauern auf d5 ein und hofft, dass sein
Einfluss im Zentrum dafür genügend Gegenchancen bietet. Nach 5...Nxd5 sprechen
wir von der "Halb-Tarrasch- oder Semi-Tarrasch-Verteidigung", weil Schwarz den
von Tarrasch geforderten frühen Gegenstoss c7-c5 ausführt, aber dann von der
Grundidee abweicht und den Einzelbauern vermeidet. Er nimmt dafür einen klaren
Nachteil in Kauf: Schwarz hat deutlich weniger Einfluss in der Mitte als in
der Tarrasch-Verteidigung. Schwarz ist nicht nur im Zentrum unterlegen, ihm
fehlt dafür auch ein Gegenwert. In letzter Zeit (1995) hat die
Halb-Tarrasch-Variante an Beliebtheit im internationalen Schachgeschehen
langsam aber sicher eingebüßt. Grossmeister wählen bei der Suche nach einer
soliden Methode im Abgelehnten Damengambit lieber die orthodoxen Varianten 
(ohne 3. oder 4...c5, mit 3...Nf3 und baldigem ...Be7) als die
Halb-Tarrasch-Spielweise. Die Orthodoxe Verteidigung gibt Schwarz mehr
Kontrolle im Zentrum und bietet nicht geringere Ausgleichs- oder Gewinnchancen
als Halb-Tarrasch.} ({Der Vollständigkeit halber erwähne ich, dass} 5... cxd4 {

e4 {Warum nicht? Schwarz hat dem Gegner erlaubt, kostenlos ein starkes
Bauernzentrum aufzubauen, und es gibt keinen theoretischen Grund, warum Weiss
diesen Weg nicht einschlagen sollte. Dennoch hat dieser dem Thema am ehesten
entsprechende Plan nie den Beliebtheitsgrad erreicht, den er verdient. Dafür
gibt es zwei Gründe, einen schachlichen und einen, der den "Spielprozess"
betrifft. Zum ersteren ist zu sagen, dass Weiss ausserordentlich genau und
kraftvoll agieren muss, wenn er den vereinzelten d-Bauern, der sich bald auf
d5 ergeben wird, zu einem Plusfaktor machen will. Offenbar wollen sich viele
Spieler nicht gern freiwillig einer solchen Herausfordrung stellen. Die beiden
vollgültigen Alternativen, die in der Spielpraxis häufiger vorkommen, sind:} (
6. e3 {mit der gebräuchlichen Folge} Nc6 7. Bd3 cxd4 8. exd4 Be7 9. O-O O-O {
Damit ist eine typische Stellung mit dem vereinzelten d-Bauer auf der 4.Reihe
und allen leichten Figuren noch auf dem Brett. Das erhöht die Elastizität des
weissen Spiels und vermindert das Risiko: anders als in der 6.e4-Variante
erhält Schwarz keine Bauernmehrheit am Damenflügel. Der zuvor erwähnte Grund,
der mit dem "Spielprozess" zusammenhängt, betrifft die Zugreihenfolge. Was die
Varianten nach 6.e3 angeht, so ergeben sich 50% der Stellungen aus dem
Panow-Angriff gegen die Caro-Kann-Verteidigung (siehe oben Partie
Adams-Seirawan). Ausserdem kommt eine beträchtliche Anzahl über die Englische
Partie zustande, wenn Schwarz frühzeitig c7-c5 und Weiss e2-e3 gezogen haben 
(siehe oben Partie Ivanov-Dlugy).}) (6. g3 {wobei die thematische Stellung
nach den Zügen} Nc6 ({oder} 6... cxd4 7. Nxd5 exd5 $5 {Pachman}) 7. Bg2 Be7 8.
O-O O-O {entsteht. Weiss hat dann die Wahl, selbst gegen einen vereinzelten
d-Bauern zu spielen mittels} 9. Nxd5 exd5 {oder eine starke Mitte anzustreben,
indem er nun doch den Zentrumsvorstoss 9.e4 wagt. Auch diese beiden Pläne sind
Spielern von geschlossenen Systemen durchaus geläufig. Die nach 6.g3
angegebene Stellung der Hauptvariante ergibt sich meistens aus einer anderen
Zugfolge als der "offiziellen". Tatsächlich werden die Stellungen nach dem 8.
Zug und nach 9.Nxd5 exd5 üblicherweise erreicht, indem Weiss in der Englischen
Eröffnung frühzeitig g2-g3 zieht und erst später (d2) d3-d4. Ein
charakteristisches Beispiel ist die oben angegebene Partie Sirotanovic-Ruban.})
6... Nxc3 {Der einzig richtige Zug. Obgleich damit das weisse Zentrum durch
Überführung des Bauern b2 nach c3 gestärkt wird, sind die mit dem Tausch
verbundenen Pluspunkte wichtiger: Schwarz verliert keine Zeit mit einem
Rückzug, und der Abtausch der Leichtfiguren verringert die einengende Wirkung
des breiten weissen Bauernzentrums.} 7. bxc3 cxd4 {Wieder mit dem thematischen
Ziel, Leichtfiguren zu tauschen, hier die schwarzfeldrigen Läufer. Alles

Bauernformation im Zentrum ist geklärt und je zwei Leichtfiguren sind
abgetauscht. Was Sie nun sehen ist das, womit beide Seiten fertig werden
müssen: der Startpunkt der kritischen, wesentlichen Varianten des
Halb-Tarrasch-Komplexes. Betrachten wir die strategischen Themen für beide
Seiten. WEISS zielt darauf, den d-Bauern wirkungsvoll vorzurücken, zunächst
nach d5. Dort wird er sich im schwarzen Lager befinden und die Rolle eines
Freibauern bekleiden und - wie Weiss hofft - ein Ärgernis für Schwarz sein,
weil er nur drei Schritte vom Umwandlungsfeld entfernt ist und ausserdem die
Verbindung der schwarzen Streitkräfte stört. Hinter dem Rücken des d-Bauern
wird Weiss seine Türme auf den zentralen d- und e-Linien aufmarschieren lassen.
Er wird versuchen, mit Hilfe seines räumlichen Übergewichts einen
Königsangriff einzuleiten. Bei Schwarz fehlen am Königsflügel die leichten
Figuren als Helfer bei der Verteidigung, und deshalb sind die weissen
Aussichten, erfolgreich durchzudringen, günstig. SCHWARZ hat mit zwei Zielen
zu jonglieren: (1) den weissen d-Bauern als harmlos hinzustellen und seinen
König in ausreichender Sicherheit zu lassen; (2) seine Bauernmehrheit am
Damenflügel voranzubringen und einen verwendbaren Freibauern zu bilden.
Voraussichtlich wird dies nur im Endspiel möglich sein. Daher muss Schwarz
unbedingt das Mittelspiel unbeschadet überstehen. In einer praktischen Partie
ist die Lage für einen erfahrenen Weissspieler die weit angenehmere: eine
Ungenauigkeit, die er sich leistet, kann vielleicht bedeuten, dass sein
Vorteil sich verflüchtigen wird; ein Schnitzer von Schwarz wird
höchstwahrscheinlich seine Stellung ruinieren.} 11. Bc4 {Hier steht der Läufer
am besten.} ({Unangebracht bescheiden ist} 11. Be2 $143 {Der Läufer könnte
ausserdem später den Turm blockieren, der auf der e-Linie eingreifen soll.} b6
