New In Chess Yearbook 86 ( Haardbound - Rare )

For sale is New In Chess Yearbook 86 — 2007 — Like New Condition — Hardbound — RareGata Kamsky's return to elite chess after a decade away was one of the great stories of the mid-2000s, and "Benoni Blast on his way to the World Cup" captures both the attacking energy of his comeback and the opening he used to fuel it. Kamsky had always been a ferociously fighting player and his choice of the Benoni — sharp, uncompromising, demanding precise play from both sides — was entirely in character. The fact that it was carrying him toward the World Cup title made the survey behind this headline genuinely significant news.Ivan Cheparinov's smash hit in the Anti-Moscow Slav follows directly from his survey in the previous volume, the theoretical conversation continuing in real time across issues — exactly the kind of ongoing dialogue that made collecting a complete run of the series so rewarding. The Marshall remains an Attack in Etienne Bacrot's hands — a quiet but pointed reminder that despite decades of defensive improvements, the right player can still make the Marshall dangerous at the highest level. Kasimdzhanov outshines Karpov with a Nimzo exchange sacrifice — the former world champion facing a piece sacrifice from the former FIDE world champion in one of the most classic and deeply analyzed openings in chess makes for compelling reading at any level. And Stellwagen wins the Battle of Best Daniels in a sharp Petroff line — the Dutch town of Best hosting a chess encounter sharp enough to merit survey treatment is the kind of detail that gives these descriptions a pleasing sense of the chess world as a living community rather than just an abstract collection of variations.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.
