Customer Reviews of Modern Chess Openings
15'th Edition (MCO-15)
James from Minneapolis Modern Chess Openings
15'th Edition (MCO-15) ReviewThis Chess opening book is a must to have book for all those who want to keep their knowledge in openings up to date.
Jeff from Phoenix Modern Chess Openings
15'th Edition (MCO-15) ReviewNot a learning resource--a reference book. This is quite extensive and useful to help tighten the screws on your openings and help others with theirs. This does not explain strategies, but gives specific moves on theory. The downside is that it doesn't give lines on very specific openings, such as the Portuguese Variation of the Scandinavian Defense. If you don't have ChessBase and need to study openings, there's no better choice than this book.
Erik from Rockford Modern Chess Openings
15'th Edition (MCO-15) ReviewEssentially every opening you need to know with many variataions. Each section is led with an informative essay about the opening (history, pitfalls, uses, etc.). Followed by endless variations with thousands of games with results. Major Drawback: Does not clearly explain which variations are better than others. Certainly not for the faint of heart. NOT a useful tool for learning how to play openings, but DEFINITELY a useful tool for studying variations of openings. Kind of like an encyclopedia: handy to have around if you know exactly what you want to learn.
