Correspondence chess
In his column, Erwin l?Ami presents interesting correspondence games by OTB GMs Krishnan Sasikiran and... himself! Also, a big theoretical find in Fischer?s 2.Nc3 Caro-Kann by Kristo Miettinen, a highly disputed line of the Austrian Attack vs the Pirc, and this issue?s sideline is 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 in the Sicilian with 2...d6 from a game Milen Petrov-Walter Steiger.

Reviews
Glenn Flear?s Reviews column focuses on the question whether there will ever be an ?Ultimate Main Line?. Will it start with 1.d4 ? Several books reviewed in this Yearbook are about this first move: Boris Avrukh?s Grandmaster Repertoire 2B: 1.d4 Dynamic Systems, Cyrus Lakdawala?s book on his latest repertoire change 1 d4 with 2 c4, and Viktor Moskalenko?s An Attacking Repertoire for White with 1.d4. And then there is also Tibor Karolyi?s 2-part book Play the Dutch!. The fifth reviewed book, on the treacherous Hippopotamus Defence by Alessio De Santis, is especially special.
