New In Chess Magazine 2014 1

New In Chess starter året med Nakamura på forsiden, og profilintervju etter seieren i London før jul. Sjakkhistorisk denne gang både om Portisch, om biblioteket til avdøde Lothar Schmid, om Nimzowisch-boka 1928-1935 og i Sadlers anmeldelse av "Best Play".

Verdens ledende sjakktidsskrift fornekter seg aldri. La oss denne gang nevne at fotografiene i disse magasinene også er blant det som gjør det til en stor opplevelse fra første titt.
