Yearbook 126: Chess Opening News

This Yearbook 126: Chess Opening News is a quarterly chess opening yearbook that follows the latest ideas in opening theory and current practical trends. It brings together fresh analysis of major systems, along with less obvious gambits, rare continuations and lines that are finding their way back into tournament play.

This issue is aimed at players who want to stay up to date with opening developments and build concrete ideas for their own repertoire. As part of the New In Chess Yearbook series, it appears four times a year and offers regular material for both tournament players and ambitious club players.

What’s inside issue 126

The coverage focuses on 1.e4, 1.d4 and selected side systems, giving a broad view of the most important modern opening ideas. You’ll find material ranging from the Sicilian Defence and Ruy Lopez to the Queen’s Gambit, Slav Defence, Grünfeld Defence and English Opening.

Practical training material

Alongside the articles, the issue includes more than 75 practical opening exercises to help you test your understanding of the ideas discussed. It is a useful addition if you want to do more than read analysis and turn that knowledge into decisions over the board.
