New In Chess Yearbook 65 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 65 — 2002 — Like New Condition — HardboundThe cover photo tells you immediately what era of chess this volume belongs to — a teenage Teimour Radjabov, already competing at the grandmaster level and making headlines with the kind of fearless, uncompromising play that had the chess world buzzing. The headline "Radjabov survives an attack on f2 — his weakest link!" is the kind of live theoretical drama that made this series essential reading. This wasn't history — it was happening right now, and the survey inside unpacks exactly how one of the most exciting young talents in the world navigated his way out of a genuinely dangerous situation.Beyond the cover story the volume is one of the most content-rich in the entire series. Peter Leko saves the Sveshnikov Sicilian — significant news for anyone who plays that sharp and demanding line. Beliavsky delves deep into Slav history, bringing the kind of heavyweight analytical perspective that only a former world championship candidate could provide. The romantic Scandinavian gets revisited. Chess and War in the English Opening promises something more than just moves.What really distinguishes Yearbook 65 is the sheer breadth of what's inside. The back cover lists all thirty-five opening surveys — ten different Sicilian variations alone, plus the French Winawer and Tarrasch, the Caro-Kann, the Petroff, both Ruy Lopez and Four Knights lines, the Two Knights Traxler Gambit, the Budapest Gambit, two Slav lines, the Nimzo-Indian, Grünfeld, King's Indian, Benoni, Volga Gambit, three English variations, and the Réti. It is a genuine snapshot of everything serious players were thinking about and preparing in 2002, all in one hardbound volume.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
