New In Chess Yearbook 67 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 67 — 2003 — Like New Condition — Hardbound — RareJudit Polgar on the cover needs no introduction to any serious chess player. The strongest female player in the history of the game, competing at the very top of the open world rankings against the best men alive — and the headline "Judit Polgar's sacrificial gem shakes the French Defence" is exactly the kind of news that had players scrambling to their boards. When someone of Polgar's attacking brilliance finds a sacrificial idea powerful enough to shake an entire opening system, the theoretical consequences ripple through tournament halls and correspondence games alike for years afterward.The supporting features are written with the kind of wit that the series had perfected by this point. John van der Wiel calls in the gravediggers for the Sicilian — a headline that promises something definitive and probably controversial. The Schmid Benoni gets described as "sidestepping a bike to get hit by a truck" — one of the most entertainingly honest assessments of an opening's practical dangers you will find anywhere in chess literature. Carlos Matamoros breaks the English symmetry.
