Sosonko’s Corner Is it absolutely forbidden to move your king in the opening? Genna Sosonko attends this moot question in his Corner in this issue. Modern play is so concrete that we shouldn’t adhere blindly to general rules, or should we? We learn what Botvinnik, Kortchnoi and Kramnik, but also Mir Sultan Khan and Rybka have to say about this.
Book Reviews How modern are Garry Kasparov’s books ‘On Modern Chess’? You will know as soon as you have read Glenn Flear’s Reviews section. Of course, Flear hasn’t missed out on other modern opening works either. He investigates how ‘starting out’ a reader should be to grasp Richard Palliser’s ‘starting out: the Trompowsky attack’, celebrates another winner with Sabino Brunello’s ‘Attacking the Spanish’, and compares two different approaches to one opening in Victor Bologan’s ‘The King’s Indian’ and Krzysztof Panczyk and Jacek Ilczuk’s ‘the classical Kings Indian uncovered’. Where would a modern chess player be without such opening books?
