NIC Forum Readers from all over the world join in discussions of previous surveys. Both (grand)masters and club players shed their light on new opening developments and search together for the truth. With contributions by John Watson, Jacob Aagaard, and many others.
Sosonko's Corner Yasser Seirawan believes 1.e4 is 'obviously the most aggressive move', but Evgeny Sveshnikov takes it a step further. He is a man of strong opinions and labels 1.e4 as 'the strongest opening move for White beyond any doubt. Sosonko describes in which of three categories (correct, semi-coorect and incorrect) young Garry Kasparov classified all openings after 1.e4 and explains why Sveshnikov stopped playing the Sveshnikov Variation. In reply to a fashionable way to circumvent his latest love (4...e5!) Sveshnikov has developed a new gambit. Read all about it.
Book Review The word 'repertoire' is widely used, but not always explained. So for that matter is the term 'World Champion', but that's another story. In his column Glenn Flear reviews Khalifman's two books on the repertoire of Vishy Anand (1.e4) and gives it 'thumbs up'. He asked a GM-friend to have a look at them and give his opinion. His reaction: 'I don't buy chess books any more, but I'll make an exception for these two! Plus Konstantin Sakaev's book on How to Get the Edge Against the Gruenfeld.
