Last crawled date: 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Torre attack The Torre attack is a chess opening that takes its name from the great Mexican master Carlos Torre Repetto. It is characterized by the moves: d4 Cf6 Cf3 e6 Bg5 (ECO code A46), or the Tartakower variant: Nf6 Bg5 (ECO code D03). Description The idea of ​​Bianco is to be able to push in e4 taking advantage of the nailing of the Cf6. If Black develops naturally with 3 ... d5, White sets a system based on: c2-c3, e2-e3, Af1-d3, Cb1-d2, 0-0, Tf1-e1 trying to reach the push in e4 anyway, thrust that remains the main and often the only plan of the first player, often a prelude to violent attacks against the black king. The apparently solid and passive position that is created for White must not mislead: Black must react promptly on a woman's wing. A passive game would end up facilitating White's plans so that he would have plenty of time to arrange his pieces in an optimal manner, like a spring ready to spring to overwhelm the enemy position. #chess #Torre attack #Semi-closed
