Book Reviews
Nobody expects it, although regular readers of Glenn Flear's column might: The Spanish Inquisition! Our reviewer specializes in the Ruy Lopez, which should entitle him to pass judgment on SahovskiInformator's Fifth Edition of Encyclopedia C (1.e4 e6 and 1.e4 e5), as well as AndrewGreet's 'Play the Ruy Lopez' (Everyman) and Johnsen/Johannessen's 'The Ruy Lopez: A Guide forBlack' (Gambit). Also in this issue: the quite original 'The Chigorin Defence According toMorozevich' written by Moro himself and Vladimir Barsky for New In Chess, as well asKarpov's and Podgaets's second Caro-Kann book, on the Panov Attack this time.
