Three top tournaments and the death of Robert James Fischer – these are the main stories as ChessBase Magazine produces its first issue of 2008. The top tournaments are the Tal Memorial, the FIDE World Cup and the Corus Tournament. 

Dr. Karsten Müller gives you an overview of the numerous training opportunities to be found in this issue. In addition Grandmaster Dorian Rogozenko has recorded (in English only) two videos totalling more than 45 minutes in which he reviews all that has been happening in the world of chess over the last two months.

As an example of Kramnik’s successes with the Catalan Opening in the Tal Memorial, Rogozenko demonstrates the latter’s victories over Shirov and Leko, in which the ex world champion managed to turn a minimal advantage into the whole point by precise endgame play.

In his second Video Rogozenko pays tribute to the overwhelming performance of Alexander Morozevich in the Russian Superfinals in December of last year. The biggest surprise in the super-tournament in Wijk an Zee is considered by Rogozenko to be Magnus Carlsen’s shared first place, which the Norwegian won by uncompromising play in which he was not afraid of taking risks.

PLUS:
- game annotations by Carlsen, Karjakin, Nisipeanu, Aronian, Krasenkov
- Kasimdhzanov's novelty in the Morozevich Variation
- columns by King, Reeh, Knaak, Müller
- 11 opening surveys
