New In Chess Yearbook 62 ( hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 62 — 2002 — Like New Condition — HardboundYearbook 62 marks another evolution in the series — for the first time a grandmaster's photograph appears on the cover, and it's Michael Adams, one of the world's top players at the time, with the wonderfully playful headline "Michael Adams plays all the happy moves in the Nimzo-Indian." That kind of personality-driven presentation was new for the series and signals how the editors were finding fresh ways to make the content come alive.But the cover delivers far more than just the Adams feature. This is one of the most content-rich covers in the series, spelling out five distinct featured stories that give buyers a real sense of the depth waiting inside. The Chinese Dragon Variation — an exotic and dangerous system that was turning heads in the early 2000s. The curse of the Rubinstein French — one of those evocative headlines that makes you want to open the book immediately and find out what the curse actually is. Almasi rebuilds the Berlin Wall — a reference to the Berlin Defense that Kramnik had used to defeat Kasparov in their 2000 World Championship match and which was now the hottest theoretical topic in chess. Grandmaster battles in Albin's Counter Gambit — one of the oldest and most combative responses to the Queen's Gambit, never quite refuted and always dangerous in the hands of a prepared player.And then the final line — "dozens of other opening secrets and surprise weapons" — which is no exaggeration. The full complement of more than 25 additional surveys across all systems awaits inside, alongside the Forum section.Notice also that the series tagline has evolved again — now "The Chess Player's Guide to Opening News" rather than "The Grandmaster Guide," a subtle broadening of the invitation to every serious player regardless of level.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
