Sosonko & Corner Editor Genna Sosonko was leafing through his old notebooks when he came across a venomous novelty he had used in a blitz game against John van der Wiel back in 1987. This provided enough ammunition for an article on the piece sacrifice Nc3-d5 often seen in the English Opening and of course the Sicilian. The final example is by Donner, who once more had his facts wrong. Book Review The ultimate "macho" opening repertoire consists of two openings: the Sicilian Najdorf against 1.e4 and the King & s Indian against everything else. In his previous column the Najdorf came under scrutiny, so it & amp; s somehow appropriate that it & amp; s now the turn of the King & s Indian to receive special attention.

With contributions by Ruslan Scherbakov and an afterthought by Viktor Kortchnoi, who solves an intriguing riddle around a 1963 game against Matanovic! Sosonko & Corner YB / 75: In this extended column, Genna Sosonko provides us with a bird's eye view of the enormous impact that Garry Kasparov has had on opening theory. From his younger years, through his famous World Championship matches with Karpov, right to his last novelties in Linares 2005. Kasparov's ringtone theory was revolutionary. He used his computer skills. The man from Baku could beat all his rivals with his home preparation, which was an extraordinary broad mixture of modern, ancient and half-forgotten opening lines. Kasparov has stopped playing chess, but his work was able to keep top grandmasters, who can not sit still for one week as it is, busy for years. And like many of his colleagues, Sosonko does not rule out a comeback ... Book Review YB / 75: Supply and demand has motivated a proficient writer Stefan Kindermann to write his 'The Spanish Exchange Variation' in English instead of his mother tongue, as Glenn Flear explains. Admiring its clarity, Flesh regrets that this book is too thin! In Konstantin Sakaev and Semko Semkov's profound ', in the Semi-Slav: ANTI-MERAN, Flear has spotted some amazing insights. And he finds Gary Lane's 'Ideas Behind Modern Chess Openings: Black' more relevant than Lane's version for White. Who could better review 'Play the Sicilian Dragon' by Edward Dear Sergey Tiviakov?

Before, the young US Champion only played this in hundreds of Internet games, albeit against the best. Is this the beginning of a new trend ?, Sosonko wonders. As always, Viktor Kortchnoi gives a clear answer. Book Review Glenn Flear muses on the new phenomenon: the Chess DVD. Despite some reservations, he has to admit that Garry Kasparov (called "Mr. Kasparov", to Flear & s surprise) does win him in the beginning! An ambitious repertoire book for Black by joint authors Alburt, Dzindzichashvili, Perelshteyn and Lawrence is surprisingly comprehensive, logical and cleverly laid out. Tiger Hillarp Persson has published one more "repertoire" book, his is a very sharp one on his pet Modern Defense. A book written with the heart, as is Edward Dearing & s second baby: Challenging the Grunfeld.

With contributions by Ian Rogers, Dorian Rogozenko, Tibor Karolyi, Geert van der Stricht and many others. Sosonko's Corner In this column, Genna Sosonko takes a look at yet another provocative theme in the opening: the 'delayed' advance of a pawn. In more lines than you would expect, this loss of a tempo that we could call the 'Arabic' method can be surprisingly effective, although the author admits that it would have left the Stars of the Past utterly amazed! '. Except Philidor, of course, who is already taught that 'excellent pawn play is a key characteristic of true craftsmanship'. However it may be, he who uses the "step by step" method. Book Review Non-theory openings are rapidly becoming theory. Glenn Flear investigates James Plaskett's The Queen's Bishop Attack Revealed and Richard Palliser's Tango !. He read the QBA, despite some deficiencies, with a smile on his face and found Tango! to be "fairly objectively analysed" and so these books may serve to popularize these still relatively unknown openings. Next, Flear compares Palliser's The Modern Benoni with Endre Vegh's Starting Out: Modern Benoni. He found quite a few differences. Our ever candid author author Sergey Tiviakov is exceptionally enthusiastic about 'What do you need? 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 77 Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation 7 ...

Sosonko & Corner Genna Sosonko & amp; imagination was tickled by Vadim Zviagintsev & s bizarre knight move 2.Na3 in the Sicilian. It made by Alexander Khalifman laugh, but not for long ... The rim knight brought back some sweet memories to our editor and gathered up some old stories, which does not mean that it has no future! In addition to becoming immensely popular on the ICC and in the Moscow Blitz Championship, in a regular game such moves can be a tremendous psychological blow. Book Reviews Not quite the mainstream or the openings in Glenn Flear & s Review this this time. After all, you don & amp; t encounter Christan Bauer & amp; s favorite 1 ... b6 every day. The French GM & s monograph on this English Defense (!) Gets many points for its thorough and original content, though it leaves something to be desired in the structure department. Next is James Rizzitano & s & amp; Repertoire book & amp; (we get many of those these days) against 1.d4. A robust tome, although doubts remain if Rizzitano can fulfill his promise of beating & amp; White & amp; solid first move. Maybe that's just to much to ask ... or is it? The unlikely author couple Sverre Johnsen and Vlatko Kovacevic also want to & Win & amp; with the London System, but our reviewer was found to be quite balanced and objective. It & amp; s ideal for the stronger club player who wants a solid system without studying day and night. Boris Schipkov & s CD on the A80-A85 Dutch contains by nature much more material than a book, but also more mistakes. A nice feature is the Training Database with useful exercises. 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 78 Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 Ng4, by Lukacs / Hazai Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 e6, by Nikitin Sicilian Defense: Grivas Variation 4 ...

Sosonko & Corner 'Vam shakh, grossmeister' quipped Bobby Fischer before beating specialist Tigran Petrosian in blitz. Genna Sosonko shows in his Corner that a check in the opening can be devastating. The phenomenon seems to gain popularity. Our Editor comes with an entertaining mixture of old and new traps. Alexander Morozevich checked on move 3 in the Philidor in an internet blitz game. It could be lethal in bullet! Book Reviews Two more animals in the chess zoo feature in Glenn Flear & s Reviews: the venerable Bird and the idiosyncratic Hippopotamus. They are contrasted with the mainstream 1.e4 e5 openings and the King's Indian. Being an avid Ruy Lopez player himself, Flear eagerly read Nigel Davies's 'Play 1.e4 e5!' And found that Davies had some nice ideas: 'I might try a few out myself!' a grandmaster reviewer! Flear was also taken by Mikhail Golubev's personal view on the King's in his new book, analysing 56 of his own games. An entertaining, high-quality and original work, writes Flear. 'Rebellious material' and 'weird stuff' we find in Andrew Martin's 'The Hippopotamus Rises'. Our reviewer finds it original, but a little skimpy. Recommended for those who like the Hippopotamus, like to swim in muddy waters ... More thorough is Timothy Taylor's 'Bird's Opening', which is made by Flear Wonder why this 'Dutch with extra tempo' is so rare.

Book Reviews Several publishers are completing coverage of all French variations as we speak. Glenn Flear compares them in his Reviews. But first he takes a good look at Konstantin Sakaev's new book on the 7.Bc4 Grünfeld and Konikowski / Soszynski's monograph on the KI Four Pawns Attack. Flear's amazement about Chess Stars's decision to come up with a revamped version of Sakaev's first Grünfeld tome of just 2 years ago, chess theory these days if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty. ' The Four Pawns Attack is an occasional choice of Fear himself against the King's Indian. Konikowski / Soszynski's new book covers mainly 6 ... c5 lines. The authors' analysis level does not match that of a Sakaev, but as an insightful reference book. The comparison of Sam Collins's 'the French advance' with Steffen Pedersen's 'French: Advance and Other Lines' reveals some interesting insights. Pedersen's 'Tarrasch Variation' also gets a look-over and is laid out side-by-side with Psakhis's legendary 'French Defense 3.Nd2'.
