Forlagets egen omtale:

New In Chess Yearbook, which appears four times a year, contains the latest new in chess openings. Each issue brings you dozens of new ideas on the cutting edge of modern chess opening theory.

The Yearbook not only covers the latest fashions, but also offers fresh insights into underrated gambits, rare continuations, and almost forgotten weapons.
