Book Reviews of Modern Chess Openings, 15th Edition
Book Review: too many typos
Summary: 2 Stars
I use to have Nuuns book on openings but I misplaced it. Anyway I needed a book on opeings ASAP so I ran to Borders and found MCO. I wanted to study an unusual opening to throw off my opponent. Anyway as I am studying the lines on my database I find some unsual things and typos. eg on page 730 of the Larsen's opening if you play out the moves to follow subscript E you will notice that the book on the 8th moved sacrifices the queen for no reason or advantage Fritz and chessmaster in the analysis mode call this an major error.
Also on same opening if you play out the move on column 5 and finally get to subscript L, you will notice it does not follow. It calls for the knight to take on D4 but there is no piece on d4.
If you are a serious player this book make throw off your game. I recommend nunns book over this one. I have
