New In Chess 2009/2 is just out. Let me try to wet your appetite with a couple of features from its more than 100 pages:

-- Karjakin explains how his dive in the icecold sea secured his win
-- and the rest of the teenage explosion in Wijk aan Zee
-- Peter Svidler on cricket in Gibaltar
-- Magnus Carlsen: beating Jan Smeets
-- Genna Sosono follows the tobacco road to chess
-- KingLoek still hopes that Teimour R. comes back to his senses
-- Jan Gustafsson: why good pokerplayers are bad at chess
-- Ray Keene: behind the scenes of the London 2000 match
-- the troubled genius of Albin Planinc
-- Eduardas Rozentalis' childhood dream
-- Jonathan Rowson reviews Ivan Sokolov's new book
-- and much more!

Is New In Chess really as good as they say? Please tell me what you think of this issue.
