New In Chess Yearbook 56 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale isNew In Chess Yearbook 56 — 2000 — Like New Condition — Hardbound"Inspired Innovations" is the theme here, and the three cover stories deliver exactly that — each one tracing how a grandmaster took someone else's idea and pushed it somewhere new.The first blurb references Yearbook 55 directly, where the Traxler Variation apparently received what is described as a mortal blow. Rather than leave it there, Lukacs and Hazai decided this was the perfect moment to deliver a similar sucker-punch to the Fritz and Ulvestad Variations as well. The continuity between volumes — where one issue's conclusions spark the next issue's investigations — is one of the great pleasures of collecting a complete run of this series, and here it plays out in real time.Then comes what might be the most entertaining billing in the entire series — the "Neo-Nadanian." Yaacov Murey, described on the cover as a man full of ideas, took Nadanian's already remarkable 5.Na4 in the Grünfeld Exchange Variation and decided he could push the concept even further. The fact that a new idea can spawn a follow-up innovation within just a few volumes tells you how alive and dynamic the theoretical world was at this point.And Mikhalchishin reveals the origin story behind 4.g4 — crediting Vadim Zviagintsev as the true inventor of a move most people associate with Krasenkow. That kind of historical detective work, tracing who really came up with what and when, is exactly the sort of thing that makes chess history fascinating.Beyond these three featured surveys the volume delivers more than 25 additional opening surveys across all systems, with the Forum and Sosonko's Corner continuing alongside.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
