Yearbook 122 hardcover: Chess Opening News

This Yearbook 122 hardcover: Chess Opening News is a hardcover issue of the respected New In Chess periodical, devoted entirely to the latest developments in opening theory. It is aimed at players, trainers and advanced amateurs who want to keep their repertoire up to date.

Each issue brings together fresh opening analysis, with coverage ranging from the most topical lines to less obvious gambits, rare continuations and older ideas that still deserve attention. That makes it a useful resource for anyone studying openings in a practical way, whether for training, tournament preparation or theoretical research.

What this issue covers

Issue 122 looks at a broad selection of openings after 1.e4, 1.d4 and flank openings. The analysis is written by experienced authors and tournament players, and the issue also includes regular columns by Joel Benjamin, Alexey Kuzmin and Glenn Flear. Book reviews are part of the package as well.

Practical opening study

This is not a book for passive reading. With more than 75 practical opening exercises, it lets you test your understanding of ideas, plans and typical moves in concrete positions. That format helps turn opening study into something you can apply more directly in your own games.
