Reviews
I found the general content to be attractive, intros, text, the right balance of game segments plus conclusions, and the English language and typesetting were both of a high quality. If you are attracted to the Berlin, but want to avoid the highly-theoretical lines, then this Modernized version could be for you. GM Glenn Flear - YB 134 - 04.2020.
