The Modern Tiger (Grandmaster Guides)

Tigers Modern from 2005 is a modern classic but has fallen out of date. Instead of writing a typical second edition Swedish grandmaster Tiger Hillarp Persson has chosen to write a new book on the same topic building on the original framework re-analyzing every line and adding over forty new illustrative games to his unique interpretation of the Modern Defense. The Modern Tiger offers a complete repertoire against 1.e4 as well as against 1.d4 when White continues with c4 and e4. For added flexibility both a Modern line and a Pirc line are given against the critical Austrian Attack.
