Synopses & Reviews
In modern chess it is often difficult to be creative in the opening, but in this book Tiger Hillarp Persson shows it can be done. Tiger presents his own favorite line against 1.e4: the Modern Defense with ...a6. With the original approach he brings both to the game of chess and life in general, he covers Whites various replies to his system, with a repertoire based on understanding, typical reactions, and interesting games, rather than theory to be memorized. Pieces are sacrificed in a great number of games and famous grandmasters will meet their doom on the pages of this refreshingly lively opening book.
