I just received my copy of Chess Evolution, sent during the European Individual Chess Championship, straight from Aix-les-Bains!
Two of the headline authors of Chess Evolution are the German and French superstars GM Naiditsch and GM Bacrot.
At first glance, I must say that I am very impressed. The analysis is excellent. Many variations include very deep analysis. In addition, there are sections of combinations and endgames.
This is a very high quality no nonsense book, and I am recommending it for serious players who want to improve. I give Chess Evolution two thumbs up!
To see a sample of the top level full game analysis in this book, go here: http://www.chess-evolution.com
It is not a cheap book (36 euros / $49 for each volume or 90 euros / $123 for 3 volumes) but if you are serious about your chess, it is worth it.
To order or to get more information, you can check out the official website at http://chess-evolution.com
The analysis is very thorough in the sample game. If the rest of the book is like this, it’s very good. Thanks, Susan, for letting us know about it.
This is like Informant. Good games and analysis, but way too many variations.
Artur Yusupov also has a series of books coming out in July 2011 called “Chess Evolution”. It’s going to be pretty confusing.

I like the variations. Otherwise, it’s the same as other useless chess books.
Chess players are smart enough to know the difference between Bacrot, Naiditsch and Yusupov 🙂
