The Modern Tiger by Tiger Hillarp Persson

“When I started playing chess again, one of the openings I took up was the Modern… When you come across a book like Tiger’s with 500 pages of deep analysis and superb explanation, you suddenly realise how vulnerable you were when you played the opening in that blissful state of ignorance.

It is an absolutely super book.”

GM Matthew Sadler

“Ten years have got behind him, but the enthusiasm and the humour is still there. It goes to show that this Tiger hasn’t changed his stripes!

As for the book, despite more games, a higher-powered engine, and a more measured approach in certain lines, it’s still as daring, entertaining, exciting, outrageous and irrational as it always was, there is just a lot more of it in 2014!”

GM Glenn Flear

“If you are looking for an exciting and original game of chess filled with complications and unusual motifs, then Tiger’s Modern is for you!

I heartily recommend this book. Great analyses, Wealth of ideas and an excellent weapon in a must-win scenario with the black pieces.”
