New In Chess Yearbook 50 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 50 — 1999 — Like New Condition — HardboundVolume 50 is a milestone in any publishing series, and the editors clearly knew it. Rather than just another collection of surveys they built this issue around something special — Kasparov's 1999 campaign at two of the greatest tournaments in chess, Wijk aan Zee and Linares. In 1999 Kasparov was at the absolute peak of his powers, widely considered the strongest player in the history of the game, and what he played in those two tournaments sent shockwaves through opening theory worldwide.The cover reproduces three actual board positions from his games — the Sicilian Najdorf SI 14.7, the Sicilian SI 19.16, and the Grünfeld GI 10.7 — and the message is clear. This isn't abstract theory. This is what the World Champion was playing right now, at the highest level, against the best players on earth. When Kasparov introduced an idea at Linares it didn't stay a secret for long, but having the full grandmaster analysis of what he was doing and why, presented with this level of depth, was something you simply could not find anywhere else.For collectors this is a natural landmark volume — the 50th issue of a series that had by now established itself as the definitive ongoing record of opening theory. The cover design reflects that milestone with a bolder, more confident presentation than the earlier volumes, and the three board diagrams printed right on the cover were a striking departure from the usual format.Beyond the Kasparov feature the volume delivers the full complement of more than 25 additional opening surveys across all systems, plus the Forum and Sosonko's Corner.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
