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
