Sosonko's Corner In a special, lengthy Corner edition, Genna Sosonko studies the late Bobby Fischer's legacy in the area of openings. Some of them are well-known, some are very surprising - and only Sosonko is able to collect so much inside information on the way his Soviet colleagues looked at the American/Icelandic legend's preparation!
Book Reviews Glenn Flear sheds his light on Karsten Müller and Rainer Knaak's amusing '222 Opening Traps' (after 1.e4), discovering some new pitfalls and adding one he fell into himself!
Ilia Odessky's 'English Defence' Flear recommends mainly for its literary qualities, whereas a more 'serious', systematized and structured job has been done by David Vigorito in 'Play the Semi-Slav', a book that made the English grandmaster 'nod in agreement on more than one occasion.'
Flear compares the 4th book under scrutiny, 'The Sämisch King's Indian' Uncovered by Alexander Cherniaev and Eduard Prokuronov, with other recent King's Indian books and commends this one especially because it is explanatory rather than 'Megabasy'.
