NIC Forum Readers from all over the world join in discussions of previous surveys. Both (grand) masters and club players shed their light on new discovery and search together for the truth. Sosonko & Corner Genna Sosonko explains the opening according to Alexander Morozevich. Where others try to lure their opponents to unknown territory, Morozevich more often than not joins his opponents! The dream of many an amateur who shies away from voluminous opening monographs and endless Internet sites which produce incessant streams of theoretical material. Book Review Which category do you belong to: do you love white water kayaking or enjoy a gentle boat ride on a placid lake? Three of the four books Glenn Flear has reviewed this time. The fourth one is by Jeroen Bosch, who has revamped his off-beat.

NIC Forum Readers from all over the world join in discussions of previous surveys. Both (grand) masters and club players shed their light on new discovery and search together for the truth. Sosonko & Corner The game Smeets-Pavasovic from the Grandmaster C Group of the 2004 CORUS Chess Tournament brought Sosonko back to his childhood days in Leningrad. The teachers at the Pioneer Palace would have never been approved of the moves these young grandmasters were playing: g2-g4 for White and especially Bf8-d6, putting the bishop in front of the queen & s pawn. Sosonko calls it Fidel & amp; Attack. Read why! Book Review The publication of the third edition of John Watson & s classic "Play the French" and a trilogy on the same opening by Lev Psakhis, whose books are always worth a detour, are an excellent starting point for . And Sakaev & s Queen & amp; Gambit Accepted monograph is the ideal finale. According to Flear it is an ideal practical book for those who want to learn about this opening. Quality comes at a price! 33 NIC Surveys Yearbook 70 Sicilian: Najdorf Variation 6.Bg5, by Van der Tak Sicilian: Najdorf Variation 6.Bg5, by Karolyi Sicilian: Najdorf Variation 6.Bc4, by Golubev Sicilian: Velimirovic Attack 8.Qe2, by Bosch Sicilian: Alapin Variation 2.c3 e6, by Tzermiadianos Pirc: Austrian Attack 4.f4, by Van der Weide King's Fianchetto: 3.Nf3, by Fogarasi French: Steinitz Variation 4.e5, by Fogarasi French: MacCutcheon Variation 4 ...

With contributions by John Watson, Jacob Aagaard, and many others. Sosonko & Corner Yasser Seirawan believes 1.e4 is "obviously the most aggressive move", but Evgeny Sveshnikov takes it a step further. He is a man of strong opinions and labels 1.e4 as "the strongest young sisters" Garry Kasparov classified all openings after 1.e4 and explains why Sveshnikov stopped playing the Sveshnikov Variation In reply to a fashionable way to circumvent his latest love (4 ... e5!) Sveshnikov has developed a new gambit. Book Review The word "repertoire" is used universally, but not always explained. So for that matter is the term "World Champion", but that & amp; s another story. In his column Glenn Flear reviews Khalifman & s two books on the repertoire of Vishy Anand (1.e4) and gives it "thumbs up". He asked a man to have a look at them and give his opinion. His reaction: "I don & amp; t buy chess books any more, but I & ll make an exception for these two!

With contributions by José Vilela, Bogdan Lalic, and many others. Sosonko & Corner In several of his previous columns editor-in-chief Genna Sosonko has turned his attention to the move g2-g4, which gets ever more popular in many different opening systems. Now he wants to do the same "One Final Time". Meet the faces of Hein Donner, Alexey Shirov and David Bronstein, all members of the illustrious g2-g4 club. Book Review Reviewing The Jackal Attack, a private publication by Adrian Skelton, Glenn Flear. His conclusion about the book: fun variations but skimpy contents. The difference with the other two books under review could not be much bigger. The Two Knights Defense by Jan Pinski and The Catalan by Alex Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik are both serious monographs, be it on totally different openings. The former is highly tactical, the latter is more with a strategic flavor. 35 NIC Surveys Yearbook 72 Sicilian Defense: Dragon Variation 9.Bc4, by Golubev / Aagaard Sicilian Defense: Dragon Variation 9.Bc4, by Anka Sicilian Defense: Accelerated Dragon 5.c4, by Tiviakov Sicilian Defense: Hyper-Accelerated Dragon 2 ... g6, by Van der Tak Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation 2 ...

With contributions by Alon Greenfeld, Baadur Jobava, and many others. Sosonko & Corner This column is an hommage to Oleg Mikhailovich Romanishin. Sacrificing a pawn in the opening to get active play has always been a hallmark of his style. Sosonko depicts the Ukranian genius as one of the leading lights in modern chess research. Of late the results of the 52-year-old Romanishin may have been relatively modest, but this riveting and the original grandmaster was able to bring down even the strongest opponent, as Vasily Ivanchuk found out to his detriment at the 2004 Ukrainian championship. Book Review Due to the overflow of information these days, the authors of opening books have to make dictinct choices and draw the line somewhere. Glenn Flear had a look at monographs by Nigel Davies and the Polish duo Panczyk & amp; Ilczuk. Guest-author Sergey Tiviakov, three last publications on the Sicilian Najdorf Variation, revealing on the way that he has not read.   34 NIC Surveys Yearbook 73 Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, by Boersma Sicilian Defense: Sozin Variation, by Golubev Sicilian Defense: Four Knights Variation, by Karolyi Sicilian Defense: Basman-Sale Variation, by Sale Sicilian Defense: Closed Variation, by Van der Weide Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation, by Rogozenko Sicilian Defense: Bezgodov Variation, by Bezgodov Pirc Defense: The 150 Attack, by Marin French Defense: Winawer Variation, by Van der Tak Caro-Kann Defense: Advance Variation, by Fogarasi Caro-Kann Defense: Smyslov Variation, by Galkin Caro-Kann Defense: Classical Variation, by Llanos / Soppe Alekhine Defense: Modern Variation, by Panczyk / Ilczuk Ruy Lopez: Jaenisch Variation, by Van der Tak Ruy Lopez: Anti-Marshall Variation, by Lukacs / Hazai Ruy Lopez: Marshall Attack, by Naiditsch Ruy Lopez: Open Variation, by Timoshenko Italian Opening: Evans Gambit, by De Zeeuw Two Knights Defense: Bogoljubow Variation, by Van der Tak Budapest Gambit, by Pliester Slav: 3.Nf3 dc4, by Nikitin Slav: Chameleon Variation, by Lukacs / Hazai Slav: Alapin Variation, by Karolyi Catalan: Bogo-Indian Variation, by Greenfeld Catalan: Accepted - 4 ... dc4, by Anka Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical Variation, by Tiviakov Grünfeld Indian Defense: Fianchetto Variation, by Karolyi Grünfeld Indian Defense: Exchange Variation, by Pelletier / Bauer King's Indian Defense: Classical Variation, by Morgado King's Indian Defense: Anti-Anti-Grundfeld, by Lukacs / Hazai Benoni: Fianchetto Variation, by Kapengut Volga Gambit Declined, by Fogarasi Dutch Defense: Leningrad Variation, by Van der Stricht English Opening: Anti-Grünfeld Line, by Marin Related products

With contributions by Viktor Kortchnoi, Jose Vilela, Bogdan Lalic, and many others. 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.
