Yearbook 122 hardcover: Chess Opening News

Opis

New In Chess Yearbook, which appears four times a year, contains the latest news 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. 

There are columns by former US Champion Joel Benjamin and Russian Grandmaster Alexey Kuzmin, who used to coach World Champion Anatoly Karpov, while English GM Glenn Flear reviews new books on chess openings.
