8 NIC’s Café
The Oscar goes to Sean Ono Lennon for the animation War is Over!

25 Fair & Square
‘I still get nervous during games.’

80 The Scoresheet
Bronstein-Kallisto, The Hague 1995.
82 The Model Game
The Najdorf is the most popular variation of the Sicilian Defence, on all levels of play. The top players appreciate its theoretical soundness, while amateurs enjoy the sharp battles.
86 Sadler on Books
Matthew Sadler awards five stars to four books. He enjoyed monographs on Reshevsky and Korchnoi. He gained insights into 1.e4 opening structures from Ivan Sokolov. And he was fascinated by the history of the Dragon.
92 Timman, Fischer and Niemann
Hans Niemann happily draws parallels between his own chess adventures and those of Bobby Fischer: ‘Two lone Americans against the world’. The comparison may be a bit of a stretch, but there is a remarkable interconnection between two endgames they played at the age of nineteen, writes Jan Timman.
