Yearbook 126 hardcover: Chess Opening News

This Yearbook 126 hardcover: Chess Opening News is a hardcover issue of the New In Chess Yearbook series, focused on the latest developments in opening theory. It is aimed at players who want to stay current with new ideas in 1.e4, 1.d4 and side systems, while also looking for practical lines they can actually use in tournament play.

Published four times a year, each issue brings together fresh analysis from across modern opening theory. Alongside fashionable variations, you will also find new takes on underrated gambits, rare continuations and almost forgotten systems that can still create an early edge.

What’s inside issue 126?

This issue also includes a special report by Jan Timman on Magnus Carlsen’s openings, alongside a broad survey of current opening analysis.

The coverage includes work on 1.e4 openings, 1.d4 openings and English Opening systems, with more than 75 practical opening exercises to test your understanding of the ideas discussed.

Built for repertoire study

This is not a book for passive reading. It is a working tool for repertoire study, tournament preparation and keeping up with current opening theory. If you are building an opening file, following theoretical trends or looking for ideas beyond the most heavily played lines, New In Chess Yearbook 126 offers focused material for serious study.
