This hardcover chess opening yearbook, Yearbook 119: Chess Opening News, brings together current opening theory, fresh practical ideas and the kind of analysis that helps players build a sharper repertoire.
What’s inside this issue
The Forum section includes new theoretical contributions from Bogdan Lalic and Vishnu Prasanna. It is especially useful for readers who want to build their repertoire from current analysis rather than rely only on familiar opening patterns.
In the Columns section, an American grandmaster continues Repertoire Building with Benjamin, focusing on an important type of position with an isolated pawn. In Kuzmin’s Harvest, Alexey Kuzmin examines opening novelties from the Candidates Tournament in Moscow, giving readers a look at ideas tested at the highest level.
Book reviews and opening theory
The Reviews section, written by Glenn Flear, covers several important repertoire books. It also includes two new books on the Scandinavian Defence: Understanding the Scandinavian by Sergey Kasparov and The Safest Scandinavian by Vassilios Kotronias.
This yearbook combines surveys, reviews and practical material in one volume. It works well both as preparation for a specific game and as regular study for players developing their repertoire with White or Black.
Practical training
At the end of the book, you’ll find more than 75 practical opening exercises designed to test your understanding of the ideas discussed throughout the yearbook. They are a useful way to move beyond reading variations and start recognising typical moves and plans over the board.
