New In Chess Yearbook 71 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 71 — 2004 — Like New Condition — Hardbound — RareVladimir Kramnik in the Sveshnikov labyrinth is a headline that would have caught every serious player's attention in 2004. Kramnik was the reigning world champion and one of the deepest and most meticulous opening preparers in the history of the game — watching him navigate one of the sharpest and most theoretically complex positions in the Sicilian is the kind of insight that money genuinely cannot buy anywhere else.The supporting features are equally compelling. Morozevich infuses new life in the Albin Counter-Gambit — and if anyone could make the Albin dangerous at the highest level it was Morozevich, whose willingness to play supposedly dubious openings and somehow make them work was already becoming legendary. Then comes one of the great early Carlsen sightings in these pages — "Carlsen on the roof: taking on the Caro-Kann." Magnus Carlsen in 2004 was barely a teenager and already appearing in the NIC Yearbook as someone worth paying attention to. The Mac is back — Glek and Cebalo both championing the MacCutcheon French, which between them they argue is very much alive. And pawn snatching in the Trompowsky asks the kind of blunt practical question that club players love.Inside the volume 35 surveys cover an exceptionally rich range of theory — two Najdorf lines, two Dragon variations, the Sveshnikov, Taimanov, and Paulsen Sicilians, the Pirc Austrian Attack, four French variations including two MacCutcheon surveys, two Caro-Kann Classical lines, the Petroff Jaenisch, the Ruy Lopez New Arkhangelsk, the Italian Two Knights, the Philidor Antoshin, the Albin Counter-Gambit, the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange, two Slav lines, the Tarrasch Rubinstein, the Nimzo-Indian Rubinstein, the Queen's Indian Miles, the Anti-Grünfeld, two King's Indian lines, the Volga Gambit Dlugy, the Trompowsky, two English variations, and the Réti Markowski.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
