New In Chess Yearbook 103

For alle som spiller mer eller mindre seriøs sjakk og er interesserte i åpningsspillet, er en ny New In Chess Yearbook kanskje det nærmeste vi kommer "manna fra himmelen". Her er det alltid mye god mat for hungige, og fristelser selv for litt matleie.

Nummer 103 har alt det gode stoffet i spaltene "Forum", "Benjamin's Opening Takes", "Kuzmin's Harvest" og Flears bokanmeldelser, og i midten selve hovedstoffet som denne gang er hele 39 artikler og åpningsvarianter (Surveys) hver med mange partier. Bidragsyterne er som vanlig mange av planetens fremste spiillere og sjakkanalytikere.
