Yearbook Ser - 78: New in Chess Yearbook

Meer over het boek

New In Chess presents the latest developments in chess openings, featuring new ideas at the forefront of modern theory. Each issue includes insights on underrated gambits, rare continuations, and nearly forgotten strategies, making it an essential resource for players of all levels. Whether you're seeking inspiration or wanting to stay updated on your favorite lines, this publication refreshes your opening repertoire quarterly. Readers from around the globe engage in discussions about previous surveys, with contributions from both (grand)masters and club players exploring new opening trends. Highlights include Genna Sosonko's reflections on Vadim Zviagintsev's unconventional knight move in the Sicilian, which, while amusing, also evokes nostalgia and potential psychological impact in games. The book reviews feature less mainstream openings, such as Christian Bauer's favorite 1...b6 and Glenn Flear's critiques. James Rizzitano's repertoire against 1.d4 raises questions about its efficacy, while Sverre Johnsen and Vlatko Kovacevic's balanced take on the London System is recommended for club players seeking a solid approach. Boris Schipkov's CD on the Dutch offers extensive material but includes some errors. The publication also includes 32 surveys covering various openings, including the Sicilian Defence, French Defence, Caro-Kann Defence, and more, providing a wealth of information for chess enthusiasts.
