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.

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.

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 ...
