Readers from all over the world join in discussions on previous Surveys. Titled players, correspondence players and club players shed their light on opening developments and search for the truth together. With contributions by Viktor Moskalenko, Pavel Skatchkov, Jose Vilela, and many others.

Benjamin’s Opening Takes
Joel Benjamin writes about what is looking to become a hype: the advance of ‘wing men’, i.e. the g- and h-pawn, at a fairly early stage in the opening – two squares of course! Not only Aronian, the winner of our Yearbook Novelty of the Year 2011 Award, has ventured this in the Queen’s Gambit Declined, it’s also possible in many other QG lines, and the Caro-Kann!

Book Reviews
In his Review Section, Glenn Flear signals a trend towards 1.d4 openings. He follows John Emms’ book on "the Nimzo-Indian ‘move by move" and gets captivated by Vladimir Barsky’s The Ragozin Complex, ‘the author’s best book yet’. Very detailed theoretical stuff is featured in Aagaard’s and Ntirlis’ The Tarrasch Defence. The Alterman Gambit Guide: Black Gambits 1 would appear to be on a lighter note, but Flear thinks it’s high-quality and a good way to spice up your repertoire.
