New In Chess (NIC) is a chess magazine that appears eight times a year with chief editors Grandmaster Jan Timman and Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam. It began publication in 1984 and contains notes by top players and chess prodigies about their own games. Typical contributions are from players such as Vladimir Kramnik, Viswanathan Anand, Péter Lékó, Judit Polgár, Magnus Carlsen, and Sergey Karjakin.
