This Yearbook 124: Chess Opening News is a quarterly chess opening book that tracks the latest ideas in opening theory, combining fresh analysis, practical repertoire guidance and coverage of both top-level lines and less obvious systems.
It is aimed at tournament players, coaches and ambitious players who want to keep their opening knowledge current. Rather than limiting itself to the most popular variations, it also looks at underused gambits, rare continuations and older weapons that can still be useful in practical play.
What’s inside issue 124
This issue covers a wide range of openings after 1.e4, 1.d4 and flank openings. The material includes opening surveys, analysis and practical exercises designed to support study and repertoire work.
Practical value for serious study
Issue 124 brings together new ideas from the borderland between modern theory and tournament practice. It is a useful read if you are building an opening repertoire, preparing for a specific opponent or simply want a clearer picture of where well-known lines are heading.
The issue also includes more than 75 practical opening exercises, giving you a chance to test your understanding of the ideas, plans and typical moves discussed in the book.
New In Chess Yearbook appears four times a year and remains a trusted source for players who take opening study seriously.
