New In Chess Yearbook 72 ( Hardbound - Rare )

For sale isNew In Chess Yearbook 72 — 2004 — Like New Condition — Hardbound — RareRustam Kasimdzhanov was the reigning FIDE World Champion when this volume appeared, and his survey on winning with the Spanish Exchange is the kind of contribution that carries real authority — this isn't a grandmaster writing about a line he has studied, it's a world champion sharing what he actually plays and why it works at the highest level. The Spanish Exchange has always had a reputation as drawish in the wrong hands, and a world champion arguing otherwise is worth paying close attention to.Gelfand's valuable lesson in the Tarrasch — Boris Gelfand was one of the most deeply prepared and analytically rigorous players of his generation, and a lesson from him on any opening is genuinely worth studying. The Anti-Marshall with 8.h3 described as "all the rage" captures the mood of the Ruy Lopez theoretical world perfectly in 2004, when White players were scrambling to find the most effective way to sidestep the Marshall Attack. Topalov turns Catalan calm into storm — and Veselin Topalov was exactly the kind of player who could take a quiet positional system and transform it into something dangerous and dynamic before your eyes. The King's Gambit gets more bad news, which is practically a running series within the series at this point.Inside the volume 36 surveys range widely — four Dragon-related Sicilian lines including the Accelerated and Hyper-Accelerated, the Nimzowitsch Sicilian, the Pirc Austrian Attack, three French variations, two Caro-Kann Classical lines, the Alekhine Modern, two Ruy Lopez lines, the Max Lange Attack, the King's Gambit Classical, a Benoni Hybrid, two Queen's Gambit Declined lines, two Slav variations, the Tarrasch Rubinstein, the Catalan Bogo-Indian, two Nimzo-Indian lines, two Grünfeld Exchange surveys, two King's Indian Classical lines, the Volga Gambit Declined, two Dutch variations, two English lines, and the Réti Double Fianchetto.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
