Negative Positive
Title: Modern Classic
Review: having played chess for about 23 out of my 29 years (and at a fairly high level, 2250) i've come across several terrific chess books. but if there was just one book i could have to myself alone it would be this one. "imbalances." who knew what they were all about? now my whole game revolves around understanding them, using then, and exploiting them. if i had one criticism (and it's only a small one) i'd like to see more info on imbalances in the opening. apart from that, this really is the ONE book to have. silman recommends you reread it every six months, and i'd agree with that. the true value of this book reveals itself over time. but you will notice a dramatic impact on the quality of your THINKING almost immediately. over time this will translate into more won games and a deeper enjoyment of the game.
Is the review positive or negative?
