New In Chess 2023/3

This New In Chess 2023/3 issue is an English-language chess magazine that combines tournament coverage, game analysis, commentary and training material in a softcover format. Its main focus is the World Championship match in Astana, Garry Kasparov’s 60th birthday and today’s leading players.

What’s inside this issue

The main feature covers the World Championship match between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren. There is also an infographic with statistics from recent and earlier World Championship matches, which places the event in a broader historical context.

The magazine also turns to Garry Kasparov, who has just turned 60. Alongside material connected with Fred Lucas’s new book, you will find James Altucher’s piece on the lessons drawn from the career of the 13th World Champion. The issue does not stop at history, though: it also covers current tournaments and leading names in modern chess, including Hikaru Nakamura, Nils Grandelius, Judit Polgar and Nodirbek Abdusattorov.

Commentary, history and training

New In Chess 2023/3 brings together several kinds of content, so it works well for active players as well as readers who simply want to stay close to the chess world. In addition to tournament reports and commentary, it includes historical articles such as a piece on Viktor Korchnoi’s correspondence and Jan Timman’s article about world champions who avoided fighting for the title.

There is also a practical side to the issue. You will find tactical puzzles, a decision-making test called What would you play?, and Matthew Sadler’s book section on new opening titles. That makes the magazine more than a record of events: it is also a source of ideas for your own study.
