Chess Informant #114 {Book}

As with his previous column in Chess Informant 113, you will never guess his chosen game! As a hint, I will say that the game was an opportunity for Garry to showcase his beloved King's Indian Defense. These deep and interesting annotations, by the highest possible authority, are an unforgettable lesson and above all a true revelation of extraordinary chess art. Chess Informant 114 - Tesla Edition also introduces a new feature: "Old Wine in New Bottles," by well-known chess author and player Romanian GM Mihail Marin. The impetus behind this advanced educative column is the aphorism that "every new chess idea is one that has been forgotten." It is an exciting voyage through the magnificent history of chess ideas. Another new feature is the column "One Country." Here the spotlight is on Sweden and four Viking representatives of a new generation: GMs Berg, Grandelius, Carlsson, and Tikkanen. It is an opportunity to become acquainted with the Scandinavian playing style through their extensive annotations, and discover how friendship and mutual support can be key to climbing the chess ladder. The "Top Five" column is headlined by British GM Nigel Short, who brings his charm and British humor to our pages. Chess Informant 114 provides complete coverage of the 2012 Anand-Gelfand match, along with many other top events. There are 200+ annotated games, by more than eighty grandmasters, including Morozevich, Movsesian, Tomashevsky, Rublevsky, Bartel, Sasikiran, Sargissian, Kiril Georgiev, Sjugirov, and Erdos to name just a few.
