With contributions by Viktor Kortchnoi, Jose Vilela, Bogdan Lalic, and many others. Sosonko&s Corner Editor Genna Sosonko was leafing through his old notebooks when he came across a venomous novelty he had used in a blitz game against John van der Wiel back in 1987. This provided enough ammunition for an article on the piece sacrifice Nc3-d5 often seen in the English Opening and of course the Sicilian. The final example is by Donner, who once more had his facts wrong. Book Review The ultimate "macho" opening repertoire consists of two openings: the Sicilian Najdorf against 1.e4 and the King&s Indian against everything else. In his previous column the Najdorf came under scrutiny, so it&s somehow appropriate that it&s now the turn of the King&s Indian to receive special attention. Glenn Flear reviews three new KID books by English masters who he has known for longer than he&d care to say: Chris Ward, Joe Gallagher and Andrew Martin. 31 NIC Surveys Yearbook 74 Sicilian Defence: Nameless Variation 5.Bd3, by Fogarasi Sicilian Defence: English Attack, by Stohl Sicilian Defence: Sozin Variation, by Tukmakov Sicilian Defence: Velimirovic Attack, by Van der Weide Sicilian Defence: Sveshnikov Variation, by Morgado Sicilian Defence: Sveshnikov Variation, by Scherbakov Sicilian Defence: Taimanov Variation, by Mortensen Sicilian Defence: Grand Prix Attack, by Scherbakov French Defence: Winawer Variation, by Nikitin Caro-Kann Defence: Pseudo-Panov Attack, by Vilela Caro-Kann Defence: Fantasy Variation, by Gavrilov Scandinavian Defence: Main Line 5...Bg4, by Tiviakov Petroff Defence: Jaenisch Variation, by Tzermiadianos Ruy Lopez: Chigorin Variation, by Marin Ruy Lopez: Open Variation, by Van der Tak Italian Opening: Game Canal Variation, by Jeroen Bosch King&s Gambit: Classical Variation, by Jensen Slav: Krause Variation, by Karolyi Slav: Botvinnik Variation, by Olthof Slav: Semi-Slav Variation, by Ehlvest Catalan: Bogo-Indian Variation, by Lalic Nimzo-Indian Defence: Sдmisch Variation, by Lukacs/Hazai Nimzo-Indian Defence: Vienna Variation, by Scherbakov Nimzo-Indian Defence: Vienna Variation, by Van der Stricht Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Anti-Grьnfeld Variation, by Van der Tak Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Exchange Variation, by Fogarasi King&s Indian Defence: Fianchetto Variation, by Greenfeld Benoni: The Snake, by Anka Benoni: Classical Variation, by Lukacs/Hazai Queen&s Pawn Opening: Trompowsky Attack, by Gavrilov Dutch Defence: Leningrad Variation, by Rogozenko

NIC Forum YB/75: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 for the truth together. With contributions by Ruslan Scherbakov and an afterthought by Viktor Kortchnoi, who solves an intriguing riddle around a 1963 game against Matanovic! Sosonko&s Corner YB/75:In this extended column, Genna Sosonko provides us with a bird’s eye view of the enormous impact that Garry Kasparov has had on opening theory. From his younger years, through his famous World Championship matches with Karpov, right to his last novelties in Linares 2005. Kasparov’s theoretical approach was revolutionary. He used the computer but did not overestimate its abilities. The man from Baku could beat all his rivals with his home preparation, which was an extraordinary broad mixture of modern, ancient and half-forgotten opening lines. Kasparov has stopped playing chess, but his work could keep top grandmasters, who cannot sit still for one week as it is, busy for years. And like many of his colleagues, Sosonko doesn’t rule out a comeback… Book Review YB/75:Supply and demand has motivated proficient writer Stefan Kindermann to write his ‘The Spanish Exchange Variation’ in English instead of his mother tongue, as Glenn Flear explains. Admiring its clarity, Flear regrets that this book is too thin! In Konstantin Sakaev and Semko Semkov’s profound ‘Latest Trends in the Semi-Slav: ANTI-MERAN’, Flear has spotted some amazing insights. And he finds Gary Lane’s ‘Ideas Behind Modern Chess Openings: Black’ more relevant than Lane’s version for White. Who could better review ‘Play the Sicilian Dragon’ by Edward Dearing than our guest author Sergey Tiviakov? Read his expert opinion, but perhaps you should read the book first! 33 NIC Surveys Yearbook 75 Sicilian Defence: Moscow Variation 3...Bd7, by Boersma Sicilian Defence: English Attack 6.Be3, by L&Ami/Smeets Sicilian Defence: Sozin Variation 6.Bc4, by Van der Weide Sicilian Defence: Rauzer Variation 9...h6, by Avrukh Sicilian Defence: Rossolimo Variation 3...g6, by Greenfeld Sicilian Defence: Taimanov Variation 5...a6, by Langeweg Sicilian Defence: Paulsen Variation 6...Qb6, by Fogarasi Pirc Defence: Shirov Gambit 5.g4, by Olthof Pirc Defence: Austrian Attack 6.e5, by Afek Pirc Defence: Austrian Attack 6.Bd3, by Tzermiadianos King&s Fianchetto: Anti-Maroczy 4...d6, by Marin French Defence: Rubinstein Variation 4...Nd7, by Fogarasi Ruy Lopez: Anti-Marshall 8.d4, by Karolyi Ruy Lopez: Breyer Variation 9...Nb8, by Olthof Ruy Lopez: Open Variation 9.Be3, by Van der Tak Scotch Opening: Mieses Variation 8...Nb6, by Van der Wiel Scotch Opening: Classical Variation 4...Bc5, by Panczyk/Ilczuk Two Knights Defence: 5...Nd5, by De Zeeuw King&s Gambit: Bishop&s Gambit 3...Nc6, by Narings Various Openings: English Defence 3.e4, by Stohl Various Openings: Chigorin Defence 3...e5, by Karolyi Queen&s Gambit Declined: Blackburne Variation 5.Bf4, by Karolyi Queen&s Gambit Declined: Anti-Tartakower Variation 8.Qc2, by Morgado Slav Defence: Chameleon Variation 4...a6, by Lukacs/Hazai Slav Defence: Krause Variation 6.Ne5, by Lukacs/Hazai Slav Defence: Meran Variation 8....Bb7, by Nikitin Nimzo-Indian Defence: Classical Variation 4...c5, by Anka Nimzo-Indian Defence: Classical Variation 4...d5, by Van der Stricht Nimzo-Indian Defence: Queen-Nimzo Hybrid 6.Nd2, by Scherbakov Bogo-Indian Defence: 4.Bd2 Qe7, by Hansen Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Exchange Variation 7.Nf3, by Van der Tak King&s Indian Defence: Fianchetto Variation 3.g3, by Dautov English Opening: Double Fianchetto Variation, by Marin

With contributions by Boris Gelfand, Erwin l&Ami, Geert van der Stricht, Edward Dearing giving a passionate answer to Sergey Tiviakov&s negative comments on his Dragon book, and many others. Sosonko&s Corner This time, Genna Sosonko has a look at 2.Qh5 and other early queen sorties in the opening. This paradoxical way of steering clear from theory has become Hikaru Nakamura&s hallmark recently. Before, the young US Champion only played this in hundreds of Internet games, albeit against the best, but now he has also started to employ it in serious tournament practice. Is this the beginning of a new trend?, Sosonko wonders. As always, Viktor Kortchnoi gives a clear answer. Book Review Glenn Flear muses on a new phenomenon: the Chess DVD. Despite some reservations he has to admit that Garry Kasparov (suddenly called "Mr. Kasparov", to Flear&s surprise) does win him over with his inspired presentation in the end! An ambitious repertoire book for Black by joint authors Alburt, Dzindzichashvili, Perelshteyn and Lawrence is surprisingly comprehensive, logical and cleverly laid out. Tiger Hillarp Persson has published one more "repertoire" book, his is a very sharp one on his pet Modern Defence. A book written with the heart, as is Edward Dearing&s second baby: Challenging the Grunfeld. Reading this book, Flear immediately lost himself calculating all the topical lines... 33 NIC Surveys Yearbook 76 Sicilian Defence: Dragon Variation, by Williams Sicilian Defence: English Attack, by Olthof Sicilian Defence: English Attack, by Greenfeld Sicilian Defence: Sveshnikov Variation, by Rodriguez/Olthof Sicilian Defence: Taimanov Variation, by Fogarasi Sicilian Defence: Alapin Variation, by Tiviakov French Defence: Advance Variation, by Sveshnikov French Defence: Advance Variation, by Gavrilov Scandinavian Defence: Gubnitsky/Pytel Variation, by Tzermiadianos Alekhine&s Defence: Larsen Variation, by Scherbakov Petroff Defence: Nimzowitsch Variation, by Skatchkov Petroff Defence: Jaenisch Variation, by Rytshagov Ruy Lopez: Closed Line with 9.d4, by Olthof Ruy Lopez: Chigorin Variation, by Galkin Ruy Lopez: Open Variation, by Flear Ruy Lopez: Dilworth Variation, by Van der Tak Scotch Opening: Miles Variation, by Afek King&s Pawn Opening: Elephant Gambit 2...d5, by Pliester King&s Pawn Opening: Two Knights Defence, by De Zeeuw Various Openings: Chigorin Defence 3...e5, by Karolyi Slav Defence: Alapin Variation, by Van der Stricht Slav Defence: Botvinnik Variation 9.ef6, by Lukacs/Hazai Queen&s Gambit Accepted: Classical Variation, by Rogozenko Catalan Opening: Open Variation, by Marin Nimzo-Indian Defence: Queen-Nimzo Hybrid, by Scherbakov Queen&s Indian Defence: Nimzowitsch Variation, by Lukacs/Hazai Grьnfeld Indian Defence: Stockholm Variation, by l&Ami King&s Indian Defence: Classical Variation, by Matamoros King&s Indian Defence: Fianchetto Variation, by Langeweg Benoni Defence: Modern Variation, by Greenfeld Queen&s Pawn Opening: Trompowsky Attack, by Anka Dutch Defence: Classical Variation, by Karolyi Rйti Opening: King&s Indian Attack, by Matamoros
