The Modern Defence is an important opening that can be played by
Black against absolutely any White opening system. It is an
ambitious, counterattacking weapon, favoured by dynamic players.
White is initially allowed to occupy the centre but Black plans to
undermine this structure in the middlegame with well-timed blows
from the pieces and pawns. If Black gets it right then the white
centre can be dramatically swept away. However, when it goes wrong,
Black can be overrun. ----- First Steps is a new opening series and
is ideal for improving players who want simple and straightforward
explanations. First Steps emphasizes: ---- * the basic principles
--- * the basic strategies --- * the key tricks and traps -----
First Steps books are based around carefully selected instructive
games which demonstrate exactly what both sides are trying to
achieve. There is enough theory to enable the improving player to
get to grips with the opening without feeling overwhelmed. If you
want to take up a new opening, First Steps is the ideal place to
start.
