Modern Chess Openings (MCO-10)

xvi, [4], 514 pp. The tenth edition of the guide so well-known that it is now referred to simply as MCO. This text is a comprehensive guide to opening moves in the game of chess. Covering every standard line of play, it provides the essence of contemporary opening theory, and should be useful to both club and tournament players. First published in 1911 and regularly revised, MCO has always kept pace with the latest developments in chess theory and practice. Now it has been enlarged and updated by International Grandchessmaster Larry Evans, and edited by Chessmaster Walter Korn, who maintains continuity with his previous editions of this classic. An indispensable part of correspondence play.
