Quick Review Yearbook 61
This is only going to be a quick-review because we received
our copy a couple of month after it was published. So I just want to
give you the facts about the book and nothing else!
As always the book starts out with the "Forum",
and in this issue I really think that the variations discussed is of
high level. Actually some of the readers such as the wellknown
Grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric came up with such interesting ideas
that it in itself could have been a survey. You get 12 pages of
discussion of openings mentioned in earlier editions of New In Chess
Yearbook. After the Forum follows as always "Sosonko's
Corner" which for some reason didn't appeal to me this time.
The surveys
The surveys is of course what it is all about in the
Yearbook-series, and in this issue there is 35 surveys. Nearly all
surveys is of of high quality, starting with a brief introduction of
1-3 pages followed by Study Material. The Study Material consists of
games that is analysed differently from very good to almost
non-existing! Mostly though it is the former that is the case in
this issue. As always there is no ELO-information about the players
in the different games in the Study Material.
The book ends with some interesting "book-reviews" of
opening books and one Video tape review. Especially the review of
the book "Pirc Alert!" by Alburt/Chernin is
reviewed in depth - very impressing Jeroen Bosch! We actually didn't
get this book at Seagaard ChessReviews, but after reading this
review it looks like it is a good book.
All in all this is a book of high quality that I highly can
recommend to readers with an ELO above 2000. I'm also looking
forward to review the next issue which should be a totally new
concept as I was told by the publisher: "We have redesigned
it, both in contents and lay-out".
