An Excellent Introduction to Modern Openings

I found this to be an excellent book for someone looking to learn the main lines of major modern openings without getting lost in too many variations. If you're looking to develop an opening repertoire for tournament chess, this is a great book to start with. Then you can go and get other books with more details, variations and sample games. But this a great reference book for your chess library. --Alexander Shaumyan, poet and chess player, author of "Spirit of Rebellion"
