New In Chess 2024/6+7

This New In Chess 2024/6+7 is an English-language printed issue of New In Chess that brings together tournament coverage, annotated games, interviews, chess history and training material in one double issue. Its main focus is the Budapest Olympiad and India’s gold-medal success, making it a strong read for anyone following professional chess.

What’s inside this issue

The centrepiece is the Budapest Olympiad and the story of India’s remarkable result. Alongside the tournament report, you’ll find an interview with team captain Srinath Narayanan about the atmosphere in the squad, the results, the players’ ambition and the significance of the win. The issue is rounded out with rich visual coverage and a selection of annotated games with notes by authors including Aronian, So and Giri.

The magazine goes well beyond the Olympiad. It also includes a piece on Judit Polgar and Ernö Rubik at the 10th Global Chess Festival, material marking 100 years of FIDE and the tensions inside world chess’s governing body, plus articles on the modern chess business, books, endgame study and training practice.

Tournament coverage, history and training

This issue balances chess journalism with practical study material. Readers get tactical exercises prepared by Yochanan Afek, Jacob Aagaard and Maxim Notkin, Nate Solon’s text on using your own mistakes to shape your training, and regular features on model games, scoresheets and chess literature.

It also touches on some of the biggest names and talking points in current chess, including Magnus Carlsen and his match with Hans Niemann in Paris, the Speed Chess final with Alireza Firouzja, Jan Timman’s view of the Grand Chess Tour, and an excerpt from Peter Doggers’ The Chess Revolution. That makes it a good choice both for ambitious club players and for collectors of chess periodicals who want a full snapshot of the season’s major stories.
