Book Reviews of Modern Chess Openings, 15th Edition
Book Review: Not Up to MCO Standards
Summary: 2 Stars
I own all the MCO editions from the 5th through the 14th. Unfortunately, this edition has too many typos, and does not sufficiently vary from the prior edition. MCO is also considered a KEY reference book of very high quality dating back over many years. As a key reference source, and one that you would typically use frequently, it was always available in hardcover, and necessarily so. This one is not. In terms of quality this book has been outdone by other reference sources that are unfortunately dated. At this point I think it likely that I won't be purchasing MCO in the future. That's sad because it was particularly useful as that quick reference source at tournaments to check lines. But now I may be doing that only electronically. In the past I've been a fan of Fed, but I find this work disappointing.
