New In Chess Yearbook 120

Som alltid er ny "årbok" en kavalkade av ferske ideer og interessante forslag i åpningsspillet. De to større innledningsartiklene handler denne gang om Nordmunds Miezes spillemåte 1 c4 e6 2 e4 og tilsvarende, og Aleksei Kuzmin om ikke mindre enn Kramniks åpningsfilosofi.

Boka gir som reklamen sier et vell av åpningsideer i mange forskjellige åpninger, fra teoriens hovedvarianter til delvis litt mer dristige muligheter.

Forlagets egen omtale:

• Forum
  • The Forum Section features new theoretical contributions by, among others, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Evegni Najer, Karsten Müller, Frank Erwich and A.C. van der Tak.
• Columns
  • In his column Repertoire Building with Benjamin, the American GM continues his treatment of the highly important position type with an isolated queen’s pawn. In Kuzmin’s Harvest, Alexey Kuzmin explains Vladimir Kramnik’s Opening Philosophy.
• Reviews
  • Glenn Flear reviews three new books: Bologan's Ruy Lopez for Black (New In Chess), The Taimanov Bible (Thinkers Publishing), Unknown Weapons in the Grünfeld (Thinkers Publishing) and Bf4 in the Queen's Gambit and the Exchange Slav (Chess Stars).
