New In Chess Yearbook 43 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 43 — 1997 — Like New Condition — HardboundReaders of the previous volume will notice something interesting right away — Glek is back, this time pushing his Four Knights variation even deeper with 4.g3 d5, the critical central counter that Black players were using to test the whole system. When a grandmaster returns to his own line in the very next issue to address the sharpest response to it, that tells you how much theoretical activity was swirling around this variation in 1997. It also reflects one of the things that made the NIC Yearbook unique — the Forum and follow-up culture meant that theoretical conversations didn't end when the volume closed, they continued into the next one.Mikhalchishin then takes on the Grünfeld Indian Fianchetto Variation with 6...dc4, one of those lines where Black grabs the pawn and dares White to prove compensation. The Grünfeld was one of the most hotly contested openings of the entire 1990s, played regularly by Kasparov and other elite players, and the Fianchetto lines were generating real theoretical fireworks at the time. Mikhalchishin was one of the most prolific and respected contributors to the series and his surveys always repaid careful study.Alongside these two featured database surveys the volume delivers the full complement of more than 25 additional opening surveys across the complete range of openings, from sharp tactical systems to deep positional lines, each with grandmaster analysis and annotated games.If you are collecting both Yearbook 42 and 43, the Glek survey continuation across both volumes makes them particularly valuable together.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding tight and solid throughout.
