The series of programs called "Modern Chess Openings" is aimed at a wide range of players, from club level upwards, and consists of a number of volumes on the most popular modern openings. We hope that these programs will help our users to play their favorite openings well, while eliminating the danger of "drowning" in the flood of opening information.

"Modern Chess Openings" has the aim of revealing to its users the conceptual sense of the openings and their inseparable links with the middlegame, demonstrating typical plans, procedures, and tactical subtleties characteristic of the opening in question. At the same time, the user will gain a complete impression of the modern theoretical situation. For this purpose, "Modern Chess Openings" contains complete games played in the last ten years, thus combining recent achievements in theory with examples of middlegame strategy. This approach enables the series to be used in several ways: as a reference program on opening theory, as a source for systematic study, and as a useful tool for broadening one's chess horizons.
