The Teacher. Great chess theorist and one of the strongest players of his era.
Siegbert Tarrasch was Germany's strongest player for three decades and one of the most influential chess teachers of all time. His books 'The Game of Chess' and 'Three Hundred Chess Games' were standard learning texts for generations of players. He codified Steinitz's ideas into rigid rules, a philosophy that made him a brilliant teacher but also left him vulnerable to players who broke the rules intelligently. His bitter rivalry with Emanuel Lasker, whom he publicly dismissed, ended when Lasker crushed him 8-3 in their 1908 match.
Notable: His famous quote: 'Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.' Won major tournaments in 1892, 1893, 1894, and 1895.
