Modern Chess Preparation: Getting Ready for Your Opponent in the Information Age
I really like this book. Tukmakov's discussion of the modern game is highly astute.(Grandmaster Luke McShane)Tukmakov's discussion is a broad one, citing games dating from 1891 up 2011. Along the way the author peppers his survey with advice, tidbits and common sense, with strong writing and a balanced approach. An important book on a much-neglected topic.(John D. WarthChess Club of Southern Indiana)Tukmakov has created a unique symbiosis: a training book with stories. Qualifications such as brilliant or wonderful are really far too stale for this work. This book will most probably become a classic in chess literature.(Martin RiegerRochade Europa Magazine)There is a lot of thought-provoking stuff in the book.(International Master Arthur van de OudeweeteringChessVibes)
