Columns

The Opening Takes have been taken over for one issue by Anish Giri, who explains why and how top players switched between 1.e4 and 1.d4 in the Candidates Tournament. In Kuzmin’s Harvest, Alexey Kuzmin has collected the 10 best opening novelties from the same event.

Preview

We offer a preview of the book The Modern Bogo by Dejan Antic and Branimir Maksimovic. This book, together with their earlier tome The Modern French, forms a watertight repertoire for black players.
