Lots of things were known about these systems before chess engines started to become very strong, but now we have completely new ideas from not only a tactical, but also positional, point of view on positions that have simply resurfaced in recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rebirth of these lines has become so popular that during my work on this book I was amazed to see such a level of popularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo make this book readable, we broke some positions into smaller files wherever we could. In all our opening books, we tried to present at least the basics of many openings and lines: the problem is that basic knowledge about openings is growing even bigger, and it is not an easy job to comprehend and assimilate all that material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why we have also tried in this book to be as concise as possible.

I must say, it received a huge boost not only in the number of games but also in a deeper understanding of the positions arising from the opening. In the past, it was used from time to time, but only a few players employed it on a regular basis, such as grandmasters from the former Yugoslavia, Milorad Knezevic and Vlado Kovacevic, and the English GM Tony Miles, who used it often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Kamsky is one of the players who uses it very often, and of course Magnus Carlsen, but we have many other grandmasters and non-grandmasters who now have it in their repertoire on a regular basis. I must say that it's also important to emphasise the move orders of the line, and due to that we have an immense number of transpositions, which you don't find so much in other openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Modernized London System\u003c\/i\u003e by Milos Pavlovic explores these elements in detail, offering insights into this increasingly popular opening strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998732505324,"sku":"9789464787566","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25940633485557.jpg?v=1763228999"},{"product_id":"the-modernized-stonewall-defense-by-milos-pavlovic-9789492510730","title":"The Modernized Stonewall Defense","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his seventh book for Thinkers Publishing, Milos Pavlovic examines the Stonewall set-up in detail.
