New In Chess 2017/8: The Club Player's Magazine

This New In Chess 2017/8: The Club Player's Magazine is an English-language chess magazine issue for club players who want tournament coverage, annotated games and practical training material in one place.

What’s inside this issue

This edition brings together current chess news and in-depth content for readers who follow competitive play closely. One of the main features is a profile of new world junior champion Aryan Tari, alongside coverage of the Grand Prix in Mallorca and the race for Candidates qualification.

Another highlight is Game of the Year, Ding Liren’s own account of the game. It is the kind of material that rewards careful reading, especially if you like detailed analysis and want to see how a game can carry both practical and artistic value.

Practical articles and commentary

The issue goes beyond tournament reports. Jennifer Vallens writes about blitz and its role in chess development, while contributions from Judit Polgar, Nigel Short, Jan Timman and Matthew Sadler bring different perspectives on the game, from training and culture to pure competition.

You’ll also find material on Opening Surprises, tactics, chess books, the European Team Championship and the Champions Showdown in St. Louis. That mix makes this issue useful both for a single read and for returning to specific articles and analyses later.

If you are looking for an English-language chess publication that combines game analysis, commentary and training content, New In Chess 2017/8 is a strong addition to a home chess library, club study shelf or regular training routine.
