“I’ll let you in on a secret”, writes English GM Danny Gormally in New In Chess 2008#4.

Diary of an ICC Addict is a brilliant but disturbing piece on serotonin cascades in the pre-frontal lobe.

Further in this issue, among much more:
— Hans Ree on the life of Savielly Tartakover
— on the spot reports from Sofia, Havana, Dagomys, Baku, Plovdiv, Prague and Malmö
— Jonathan Rowson on the beauty of chess
— exclusive annotations by Morozevich, Topalov, Mamedyarov, Radjabov, Ivanchuk, Shirov, Grischuk, and many others
— Jan Timman on opening surprises (!)
— Tiger Hillarp Persson on Arthur Rubinstein and lobbyism.
