Tiger’s Modern from 2005 is a modern classic, but has fallen out of date. Instead of writing a typical second edition, Swedish grandmaster Tiger Hillarp Persson has chosen to write a new book on the same topic, building on the original framework, re-analysing every line, and adding over forty new illustrative games to his unique interpretation of the Modern Defence.

The Modern Tiger offers a complete repertoire against 1.e4, as well as against 1.d4 when White continues with c4 and e4. For added flexibility, both a Modern line and a Pirc line are given against the critical Austrian Attack.

GM Tiger Hillarp Persson is a Modern aficionado who is widely admired for his creative style and original ideas.

Reviews

"The focus is on the positions arising after 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7. The bulk of the book is devoted to this 'Modern' move order and in particular variations where Black often follows up with an early ...a6 aiming for ...b5, ...Bb7, ...Nd7 and ...c5 when allowed. Black's king knight is slow to develop, so with but a few exceptions [...] play does does not transpose to the Pirc. The approach advocated by Persson has picked up many followers the past decade including Vladimir Kramnik who appreciate its strategic complexity which allows Black to play for a win."
