Chess Informant #110

In Chess Informant #110, World Champion Vishy Anand joins a force of more than seventy prominent grandmasters, citizens from thirty-two countries, who analyze a total of 321 games and 387 game fragments. Israeli grandmaster Michael Roiz, who analyzes six of his games for Chess Informant 110, called Informant "the last human chess book on earth." Meaning that the focus is on good old human logic - on those moves that chess players consider as possible options during the game - rather than on computer generated variations. Beyond the collection of annotated games and standard columns - which includes the best games and most important theoretical novelties from the previous volume, and sections of chess studies, combinations, and endings - the "Modern Chess Theory" column, presented in encyclopedic style, presents surveys of three variations: B66 Sicilian Defense, Richter-Rauzer Attack; C65 Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defense; and C95 Ruy Lopez, Breyer Variation. The best creation of Sergey Karjakin is presented in this volume as well.
