Informant 1-70

"The appearance of Chess Informant in the mid nineteen sixties heralded a revolution in the way that chess players prepare for their games. Chess Informant devised the first professional classification of openings, and thus acted as forerunner for the entire system of contemporary chess computer databases." Gary Kasparov

"The birth of Chess Informant marked the beginning of the information revolution in chess. Today, the speed with which chess ideas are propagated exceeds that in other fields. Chess Informant continues to be a showpiece for vibrant new ideas and chess players use it both as a manual and for sheer pleasure. Chess Informant continues to carry the beauties of the chess game to the most distant parts of the world." Anatoly Karpov

"Chess Informant has been the single most important tool for generations of chess players. It's appeal to players around the world lies in it's world class analysis, the use of universal symbols and the excellent work of the people behind Chess Informant. It has adapted to all the changes the chess world has undergone and will continue to be a faithful companion to many chess players for years to come." Viswanathan Anand
