New In Chess Yearbook 35

For sale isNew In Chess Yearbook 35 — 1995 — Like New ConditionIf there is one opening that has generated more drama, more brilliancies, and more theoretical controversy than almost anything else in chess history, it might be the Marshall Attack. Black sacrifices a pawn on move eight and gets what feels like a lifetime of attacking chances in return — and players have been arguing about whether White can actually hold the defense ever since Frank Marshall first unveiled it against Capablanca in 1918. Shamkovich and Kaminsky bring their combined expertise to bear on it here with a full database survey and theoretical article, and given how hotly contested the Marshall was at every level of chess in the mid-1990s, this would have been essential reading for anyone facing it regularly.Tsin then shifts the mood considerably with a deep look at the French Tarrasch Variation — a completely different kind of chess, more strategic and structural, where understanding pawn formations and piece placement matters more than memorizing tactical sequences. The Tarrasch was experiencing a real revival in the 1990s and this survey catches it right in the middle of that renewed interest.Opening 1995 with these two very different but equally important systems is a nice reminder of the breadth the Yearbook always delivered. Collectors who follow the series know that the mid-1990s volumes are consistently the hardest to find in clean condition — they were produced in smaller print runs than the later issues and they got well used by the players who owned them.Condition: Like New — softbound, no writing, no marks, binding clean and tight.
