The Modern English, Volume 2, Kiril Georgiev & Semko Semkov, Chess Stars, 2019

This volume completes the coverage of the Modern English with a repertoire against 1...c5, 1...Nf6, and 1...e6. It is based on active fight for the centre by e3 and d4. It is written from White's point of view, but it should also serve Black players since the authors often discuss several alternatives to the main lines. The book follows the acclaimed Chess Stars structure with three sections in each chapter - "Main Ideas", "Step by Step", and "Annotated Games".
