The books have been fully edited and have new layouts and designs.

If you want the books in paperback or you cannot afford the $250 cost, you will find the books on general release 26 August through chess specialists and in October through Amazon and other channels.
If you want to support the Naroditsky Memorial fund, you can do it here: cltccf.org/naroditskymemoria…
At the Naroditsky Memorial more than 3000 people contributed to the fund. But there were also 2 companies in the world of chess - @NewInChess and @HouseOfStaunton who contributed in very creative ways. @PeterGiannatos tells us how they supported this initiative.

As Hikaru has released his preparation for the WC-match against Magnus that never was to be, it feels only fair we release ours too:
Many astute observers have noted that @GMJSindarov and I are at the same hotel in Cyprus for the same dates, and they're questioning if I'm on Sindarov's World Championship Prep Team. While I'm not, I am advising him in a limited capacity about 2.Ke2. The OG prep was for an eventual WC match against Magnus, but as that won't be happening, the world deserves to have this prep in the open, so I'm sharing it. I've also heard that Magnus is sharing his 2.Ke2 prep with @DGukesh. Good Luck to Sindarov and Gukesh, may the best 2.Ke2 win!
ALT The last sunset from Cyprus. Thanks to Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort for the free vacation!

Fred Das and Jeroen Terlingen, authors of The Sponsor: Murder at the North Sea Chess Tournament, teamed up again for The Sponsor Part II: The Marostica Chess Festival Under Attack. The first Sponsor book was published in 2024 and the second was published in 2026. I hope for a third Sponsor book in 2028. Read the review: sparkchess.com/the-sponsor-r… / @NewInChess @STLChessClub

A very early issue of @NewInChess magazine - 1984/2. Its tribute to the recently-deceased 9th World Champion, Tigran Petrosian, featured detailed annotations by Jan Timman to the 18th match-game Botvinnik-Petrosian, Moscow 1963.
reprint: Curacao 1962
In Curaçao 1962, GM Jan Timman returns to this clash of giants and takes a fresh look at the games. Timman describes the course of the tournament and annotates the most important games (including 16 of Fischer’s!) in his usual lucid and instructive style. Curaçao 1962 revives a tradition of great tournament books, such as Alekhine’s New York 1927 and Bronstein’s Zurich 1953.

eBook of the Week: Excelling at Technical Chess
"And the rest is a matter of technique" is an annoyingly common phrase used in chess literature. In this valuable book GM Jacob Aagaard aims to solve this perennial problem. He arms the reader with several endgame weapons. These include important skills such as schematic thinking, domination, preventing counterplay, building fortresses and utilizing zugzwang.

eBook of the Week: Playing the French
The French Defence is one of the most solid and strategically rich answers to 1.e4: Black accepts a slightly cramped position in return for a durable pawn structure and clear, long-term plans, usually centred on the counterstrike against White’s d4 and the eventual activation of the famously “bad” light-squared bishop. This book turns that defence into a complete, ready-to-play repertoire for Black.

eBook of the Week: Opening Repertoire: Beating the Sicilian Main Lines
In this book, German FM Jonas Hacker provides a complete repertoire for White when facing the Sicilian. The recommended systems are based on solid strategic considerations. The backbone of the repertoire is the line 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 f3!? This is a perfect line to throw Najdorf and Dragon players off their stride.
