Forum
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, Igor Stohl, Viacheslav Zakhartsov, Nenad Sulava, Ufuk Tuncer, and many others.

Benjamin’s Opening Takes
In his Opening Takes, Joel Benjamin shows how you can fight against over-prepared opponents, looking at Magnus Carlsen’s practical approach in the London Classic and Tata Steel tournaments.

Kuzmin’s Harvest
In his new series, insider Alexey Kuzmin collects the most important recent novelties for Yearbook readers. This time the novelties are from the European Championship in Plovdiv.

Book Previews and Reviews
In this section we present a sneak preview from The Modern French by Dejan Antic and Branimir Maksimovic.
Our reviewer Glenn Flear notices a growing influence of subtitles in books like Ivan Sokolov’s The Strategic Nimzo-Indian, Larry Kaufman’s The Kaufman Repertoire for Black & White, Alexander Delchev’s The Modern Reti and Ruslan Scherbakov’s the triangle system. Of course the insides of these books are even more important, and Flear is an expert in pointing out the highlights!
