The Modern Defence is a dynamic, ambitious and universal opening,
one that can be used against virtually every system White can play.
Black's provocative strategy is based upon allowing White to
construct an imposing pawn centre in the anticipation that a
well-timed strike will bring about its downfall. Both sides can
play for high rewards, albeit at some risk: White can hope to
succeed with a direct attack or to squash Black with a space
advantage, while Black will aim to destroy White's centre and mop
up the remains. All in all this can lead to intriguing battles in
which one slip from either side is often fatal. In this book, Nigel
Davies studies the Modern by going back to basics, introducing the
key moves and ideas, and taking care to explain the reasoning
behind them - something that has often been neglected or taken for
granted.Everyman Chess's "Starting Out" series has firmly
