With contributions by Ian Rogers, Dorian Rogozenko, Tibor Karolyi, Geert van der Stricht and many others. Sosonko's Corner In this column, Genna Sosonko takes a look at yet another provocative theme in the opening: the 'delayed' advance of a pawn. In more lines than you would expect, this loss of a tempo that we could call the 'Arabic' method can be surprisingly effective, although the author admits that it would have left the Stars of the Past utterly amazed! '. Except Philidor, of course, who is already taught that 'excellent pawn play is a key characteristic of true craftsmanship'. However it may be, he who uses the "step by step" method. Book Review Non-theory openings are rapidly becoming theory. Glenn Flear investigates James Plaskett's The Queen's Bishop Attack Revealed and Richard Palliser's Tango !. He read the QBA, despite some deficiencies, with a smile on his face and found Tango! to be "fairly objectively analysed" and so these books may serve to popularize these still relatively unknown openings. Next, Flear compares Palliser's The Modern Benoni with Endre Vegh's Starting Out: Modern Benoni. He found quite a few differences. Our ever candid author author Sergey Tiviakov is exceptionally enthusiastic about 'What do you need? 32 NIC Surveys Yearbook 77 Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation 7 ...

Sosonko & Corner Genna Sosonko & amp; imagination was tickled by Vadim Zviagintsev & s bizarre knight move 2.Na3 in the Sicilian. It made by Alexander Khalifman laugh, but not for long ... The rim knight brought back some sweet memories to our editor and gathered up some old stories, which does not mean that it has no future! In addition to becoming immensely popular on the ICC and in the Moscow Blitz Championship, in a regular game such moves can be a tremendous psychological blow.

It & amp; 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.
