- I just got my Chess Informant #55 in the mail. This volume is
- published by Chess Informant, Ltd. in Nicosia, Cyprus; and has
- been printed in Hungary by Szegedi Nyomda. The previous volume
- (#54) was also printed in Hungary and published in Cyrpus. Volume
- #53 was both published and printed in Beograd, Yugoslavia.
-
- Wherever it is being printed, there seems to be a drop in quality
- control in #55 (based on my sample size of one!). My copy has
- eight blank pages in it -- obvious production errors. None of my
- copies of the previous volumes (and I have most of them) had such
- errors.

-
- This volume has all 30 FS-II games. (The last four of them have
- been included in a special annex.) The FS games are annotated by
- Balasov, Matanovic, Timman, Matulovic, Glek, Seirawan, Nikitin,
- Damljanovic, and Speelman.
-
- The volume seems to have the usual crew of top annotators. People
- still contributing include: Byrne, Mednis, Anand, Chandler,
- Christiansen, Dlugy, Gulko, Karpov, Kasparov, Kortchnoi, Kamsky,
- Miles, Nunn, J. Polgar, Z. Polgar, and Short.
