New In Chess Yearbook 83 ( Haardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 83 — 2007 — Like New Condition — Hardbound — RareSergey Karjakin on the cover looking barely old enough to be in high school — and yet already adding new dimensions to one of the most theoretically complex openings in chess. Karjakin had become the youngest grandmaster in history at just 12 years old and by 2007 was developing into one of the most dangerously well-prepared players in the world. Finding something genuinely new in the Sveshnikov at this level of theoretical saturation is no small achievement, and the fact that it's a teenager doing it makes it all the more remarkable.Vladimir Kramnik the Catalan Strangler continues the series' tradition of giving Kramnik's relationship with his favourite opening the dramatic framing it deserves. By this point Kramnik had turned the Catalan into something almost inescapable at the top level — opponents who didn't prepare it carefully enough found themselves slowly suffocated without ever quite understanding what had gone wrong. Forget the English Attack, play the Najdorf like Emanuel Berg — an invitation to step off the most heavily analyzed highway in Sicilian theory and try something fresher and more personal. Ponomariov tames Topalov's bishops in the Bogo-Indian — two world champions clashing over a variation where the bishop pair is supposed to be a long-term advantage, with Ponomariov finding a way to neutralize it. Rogozenko takes a shortcut in the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon — in a line where the theory can get incredibly deep very quickly, a reliable shortcut that still gives Black a fighting game is always welcome.The volume contains more than 30 opening surveys across all major systems, written by grandmaster specialists with annotated games and supporting analysis throughout.Condition: Like New — hardbound, boards clean, pages bright and completely unmarked, binding firm throughout.
