The Torre Attack is a chess opening characterized by the moves (in algebraic notation) :1. d4 Nf6 :2. Nf3 e6 :3. Bg5 or 2. ...d5 3. Bg5 (the Tartakower Variation, ECO code D03, see diagram). It is named after Carlos Torre Repetto. Besides Savielly Tartakower, it was also used by Tigran Petrosian on occasion. It perhaps has been most utilised among top level players by Jan Timman.

If White plays an early c4, the opening may transpose to a number of more common queenside openings, such as the Queen's Gambit or one of the various Indian defences. The opening is rarely met in modern top-flight play, and statistical analysis shows that it is not particularly advantageous for White [http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessopening?eco=D03 Torre Attack - Chessgames.com] .
