Sosonko&s Corner Genna Sosonko&s imagination was tickled by Vadim Zviagintsev&s bizarre knight move 2.Na3 in the Sicilian. It made Alexander Khalifman laugh, but not for long... The rim knight brought back some sweet memories to our Editor and stirred up some old stories, which does not mean that it has no future! Besides becoming immensely popular on the ICC and in the Moscow Blitz Championship, in a regular game such moves can be a tremendous psychological blow. Book Reviews Not quite mainstream either are the openings treated in Glenn Flear&s Review section this time. After all, you don&t encounter Christan Bauer&s favourite 1...b6 every day. The French GM&s monograph on this English Defence (!) gets many points for its thorough and original content, though it leaves something to be desired in the structure department. Next is James Rizzitano&s &Repertoire book& (we get many of those these days) against 1.d4. A robust tome, although doubts remain if Rizzitano can fulfill his promise of &beating& White&s solid first move. Maybe that&s just to much to ask... or is it? The unlikely author couple Sverre Johnsen and Vlatko Kovacevic also want to &Win& with the London System, but our reviewer found their book to be quite balanced and objective. It&s ideal for the stronger club player who wants a solid system without studying day and night. Boris Schipkov&s CD on the A80-A85 Dutch contains by nature much more material than a book, but also more mistakes. A nice feature is the Training Database with useful exercises. 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 78 Sicilian Defence: Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 Ng4, by Lukacs/Hazai Sicilian Defence: Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 e6, by Nikitin Sicilian Defence: Grivas Variation 4...Qb6, by Grivas French Defence: Tarrasch Variation 4.ed5 Qd5, by Anka Caro-Kann Defence: Advance Variation 4.c4, by Boersma Caro-Kann Defence: Classical Variation 4...Bf5, by Olthof Petroff Defence: Steinitz Variation 3.d4 Ne4, by Fogarasi Petroff Defence: Jaenisch Variation 6...Be7, by Kuzmin Ruy Lopez: Neo-Steinitz Variation 6...Nge7, by Karolyi Ruy Lopez: Neo-Arkhangelsk Variation 6...Bc5, by Kuzmin Ruy Lopez: Closed Line with 9.d4, by Marin Italian Game: Evans Gambit 4.b4, by Van der Tak Scotch Opening: Mieses Variation 8...Ba6, by Van der Weide Philidor Defence: Antoshin Variation 5...Be7, by Abeln Queen&s Gambit Declined: Blackburne Variation 5.Bf4, by Agrest Slav Defence: Krause Variation 6.Ne5, by Greenfeld Slav Defence: Marshall Gambit 4.e4, by Van der Tak Slav Defence: Meran Variation 8.Be2, by Afek Queen&s Gambit: Accepted Classical Variation 7.Bb3, by Dautov Nimzo-Indian Defence: Kmoch Variation 4.f3, by Cebalo Nimzo-Indian Defence: Vienna Variation 7.e5, by Lukacs/Hazai Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Exchange Variation 7.Nf3, by Avrukh Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Makogonov Variation 6.b4, by Panczyk/Ilczuk King&s Indian Defence: Classical Variation 7...Na6, by Mikhalevski King&s Indian Defence: Four Pawns Attack 5.f4, by Vaisser Benoni Defence: Fianchetto Variation 11.Bf4 Qe7, by Kapengut Benoni Defence: Volga Gambit 3...b5, by Gavrilov Queen&s Pawn Opening: Trompowsky Attack 2.Bg5, by Tzermiadianos Queen&s Pawn Opening: Priй Attack 2.a3, by Priй Queen&s Pawn Opening: Reversed Albin 3.e4, by Greenfeld Dutch Defence: Classical Variation 7...Ne4, by Williams English Opening: Symmetrical Variation 3...b6, by Langeweg

With contributions by Simon Williams, Efstratios Grivas, Jose Luis Vilela and many others. Sosonko&s Corner ’Vam shakh, grossmeister’ quipped Bobby Fischer before beating specialist Tigran Petrosian in blitz. Genna Sosonko shows in his Corner that a check in the opening can be devastating. The phenomenon seems to gain popularity. Our Editor comes up with an entertaining mixture of old and new traps. Alexander Morozevich checked on move 3 in the Philidor in an internet blitz game. It could be lethal in bullet! Book Reviews Two more animals in the chess zoo feature in Glenn Flear&s Reviews: the venerable Bird and the idiosyncratic Hippopotamus. They are contrasted with the mainstream 1.e4 e5 openings and the King’s Indian. Being an avid Ruy Lopez player himself, Flear eagerly read Nigel Davies’s ‘Play 1.e4 e5!’ and found that Davies had discovered some nice ideas: ‘I might try a few out myself!’ may be the highest praise you can get from a grandmaster reviewer! Flear was also taken by Mikhail Golubev’s personal view on the King’s Indian in his new book, analysing 56 of his own games. An entertaining, high-quality and original work, writes Flear. ‘Rebellious material’ and ‘weird stuff’ we find in Andrew Martin’s ‘The Hippopotamus Rises’. Our reviewer finds it original, but a little skimpy. Recommended for those who, like the Hippopotamus, like to swim in muddy waters… More thorough is Timothy Taylor’s ‘Bird’s Opening’, which made Flear wonder why this ‘Dutch with extra tempo’ is so rare. Taylor does an alarmingly good – if over-the-top - job for White in From’s Gambit. 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 79 Sicilian Defence Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 e5 SI 14.8 Olthof Sicilian Defence Dragon Variation 9.Bc4 SI 18.3 Karolyi Sicilian Defence Scheveningen Variation 6.Be2 SI 24.8 Langeweg Sicilian Defence Sozin Variation 6.Bc4 SI 26.2 Golubev Sicilian Defence Rauzer Variation 6.Bg5 SI 28.3 Kuzmin Sicilian Defence Rossolimo Variation 4.Bb5 Qc7 SI 31.9 Greenfeld Sicilian Defence Paulsen Variation 5...Qc7 SI 41.13 Fogarasi Sicilian Defence Nimzowitsch Variation 2...Nf6 SI 43.6-7 Afek Pirc Defence Classical Main Line 6...a6 PU 16.7 Marin/Stoica French Defence Advance Variation 3.e5 FR 3.5 Matamoros French Defence Steinitz Variation 5.Nf3 FR 4.5 Moskalenko Caro-Kann Defence Exchange Variation 4.Bd3 CK 2.9-16 Nikitin Caro-Kann Defence Advance Variation 3.e5 CK 4.11 Peelen Petroff Defence Nimzowitsch Variation 5.Nc3 RG 3.5 Van der Wiel Ruy Lopez Marshall Attack 8...d5 RL 17.10 Van der Tak Ruy Lopez Zaitsev Variation 9...Bb7 RL 26.6 Morgado Slav Defence Krause Variation 11...f6 SL 4.5 Van der Stricht Slav Defence Marshall Gambit 4.e4 SL 6.1 Kuzmin Slav Defence Moscow Variation 5...h6 SL 6.6 Lukacs/Hazai Catalan Opening Closed Variation 6...Nbd7 CA 4.7 Anka Queen’s Indian Defence Nimzowitsch Variation 5...b5 QI 15.4 Karolyi Queen&s Indian Defence Nimzowitsch Variation 5...Bb4 QI 16.11 Lukacs/Hazai Grьnfeld Indian Defence Exchange Variation 5.Bd2 GI 3.3 Bosch King’s Indian Defence Gligoric Variation 7.Be3 KI 18.3 Grivas King&Indian Defence Fianchetto Variation 3.g3 KI 63.3 Stohl Benoni Defence Taimanov Variation 8...Nbd7 BI 7.3 Palliser Benoni Defence The Bd3, h3 System BI 8.4 Grivas Benoni Defence Modern Main Line 8.a4 BI 13.2 + 7 Vilela Queen&s Pawn Opening Trompowsky Attack 2.Bg5 QP 7.8 Tzermiadianos Queen&s Pawn Opening Priй Attack 2.a3 QP 9.1 Priй English Opening Anti-Benoni Gambit 4...e5 EO 46.5 Van der Weide English Opening Reversed Sicilian 3...d5 EO 51.4/53.8 Marin/Stoica

Sosonko&s Corner He who has not tasted the steel of a sacrifice on f7 or f2, has not tasted chess. Genna Sosonko presents in his Corner new upsets, but shows that there are other weaknesses too, and not only in a game of Chess960! Featuring fresh and old stories, from youngsters Carlsen and Radjabov, to mysterious names like Khalilbeili and Rubel… Book Reviews Several publishers are completing coverage of all French variations as we speak. Glenn Flear compares them in his Reviews. But first he takes a good look at Konstantin Sakaev’s new book on the 7.Bc4 Grьnfeld and Konikowski/Soszynski’s monograph on the KI Four Pawns Attack. Flear’s amazement about Chess Stars’s decision to come up with a revamped version of Sakaev’s first Grьnfeld tome of just 2 years ago, is replaced by admiration for the Russian GM’s deep analysis in this new 426-page work: ‘It shows how much there is to chess theory these days if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty.’ The Four Pawns Attack is an occasional choice of Flear himself against the King’s Indian. Konikowski/Soszynski’s new book covers mainly 6…c5 lines. The authors’ analysis level doesn’t match that of a Sakaev, but as an insightful reference book this one will please not only club players. The comparison of Sam Collins’s ‘the French advance’ with Steffen Pedersen’s ‘French: Advance and Other Lines’ reveals some interesting insights. Pedersen’s ‘Tarrasch Variation’ also gets a look-over and is laid side-by-side with Psakhis’s legendary ‘French Defence 3.Nd2’. Just read this review and you will have a good hunch which ‘French Collection’ should be yours to get. 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 80 Sicilian Defence Najdorf Variation 6.Bc4 Vladimirov Sicilian Defence Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 e5 Olthof Sicilian Defence Najdorf Variation 6.Be3 e6 Stohl Sicilian Defence Scheveningen Variation 6.Be2 Olthof Sicilian Defence Richter-Rauzer Variation 6.Bg5 Rytshagov Sicilian Defence Grivas Variation 4...Qb6 Grivas Sicilian Defence Sveshnikov Variation 11.Bd3 Galkin Sicilian Defence Alapin Variation 2...d5 Sveshnikov Pirc Defence Austrian Attack 6..Na6 Marin/Stoica Pirc Defence Classical Main Line 6...a6 Marin/Stoica French Defence Burn Variation 4.Bg5 I.
