The Uncompromising Modern Defense
 

A Dynamic Double Threat: Fight 1.e4 and 1.d4 with the Modern Defense (1...g6). It's got all the combative dynamism of the Sicilian and King's Indian Defense, but you'll be hard-pressed to find an opponent who's truly prepared for it! The Modern Defense is the perfect surprise weapon for the fighting player, and FIDE Master Vjekoslav Nemec brings you the ultimate course to master it.
The flexible setup of this opening paves the way to exciting and exotic positions that few opponents can traverse easily. And with this course, you'll be ready to not only navigate such positions, but thrive in them - while your opponent nervously tiptoes each move.
In this comprehensive repertoire against both 1.e4 and 1.d4, you'll learn how to
- Dismantle White's 'super center' in the Austrian Attack. Defang one of White's most critical tries with the subtle .a6 early on - preparing a well-timed pawn break to collapse White's 'perfect' center and activate your monstrous g7 bishop
- Lure your opponent into a deceptively simple endgame in the 1.d4 Averbakh setup. While your opponent plays routine-looking moves, you'll have a surprise plan in store for them - watch even experienced opponents botch it again and again!
- Derail London system setups with ease - and joy. Whether it be the traditional London system or Jobava setup, you'll force White's pieces to the edges of the board and dominate the center
And much more. With dozens of chapters going in depth on all the variations - main lines and sidelines - this is as comprehensive a course on the Modern as it gets!
