First line
When Byron Jacobs originally asked me (Jon Speelman) if I was interested in writing a book on the Modern, I was both somewhat apprehensive and rather pleased: apprehensive, because I thought it might entail an inordinate amount of work; and pleased, because my opening repertoire has for some time been crying out for redevelopment - and it's always nice to be paid for essential work.
From the rear cover
The Modern Defence leads to sharp and dynamic positions from the very first few moves. Black concedes space in the center with a view to launching a counterattack based on his powerful bishop fianchetto. As leading grandmasters such as Alexei Shirov, Mikhail Gurevich and Jon Speelman himself have shown on numerous occasions, when it works, the Modern Defence is truly a spectacular weapon. This book will show you how to put it to use in your own games. (6 x 9, 160 pages, diagrams)
