New In Chess Yearbook 97 (paperback)

Siste 2010-utgave av sjakkspillernes ledende åpningsårbok kom først i romjula.

Som alltid er innholdet topp interessant for alle genuint interesserte og rimelig seriøse sjakkspillere, med Forum (bidrag om åpningsteori fra store og små sjakkmestere), Sosonkos hjørne (personlig og kompetent) og bokanmeldelser av Glenn Flear, denne gang om de fire aktuelle bøkene The Complete c3 Sicilian (Sveshnikov), GM Repertoire 6 The Sicilian Defence (Ftacnik), GM Repertoire 7 The Caro-Kann (Schandorff) og Play the London system (Lakdawala). De tre førstnevnte får topp karakter og den siste noe mer forbehold.

Og sist og mest alle de store, aktuelle åpningsartiklene (Surveys) der mange vil finne varianter som er høyst aktuelle for seg selv.
