This book presents new and surprising ways for Black to play for a win against 1.d4. Dejan Antic and Branimir Maksimovic have created a highly original chess opening repertoire in the Bogo-Indian Defense, re-evaluating older analysis, showing how Black can do much more than just equalize.
Antic and Maksimovic offer a modern, some might even say a hyper-modern, way for Black to develop an initiative without taking excessive risks. The lines presented in this book are not covered properly in previous chess literature, so any ambitious player will find much useful and cutting-edge material.

As in their previous book, The Modern French, Antic and Maksimovic explain all relevant strategic concepts and attacking plans, present fresh concepts and numerous novelties. After studying The Modern Bogo you will be a much tougher opponent!

Review

Perhaps the best attempt that any book has made at sorting out all those grey areas, transpositions, hybrids and move-order confusions. You really get the impression that the authors know their stuff and have taken the time to help the reader cross-reference analogous themes from elsewhere. (Grandmaster Glenn Flear, author of Starting Out: Open Games)

The many verbal explanations loosen the book up. The authors have laid much emphasis on providing their readers not just with variations, but also with lots of texts containing historical backgrounds, indications of tactical or positional pitfalls, and other details. (Martin Reiger)

I enjoyed the prose explanations, of which there are plenty. They rally did help me to understand the ideas behind some of the lines that have remained hitherto a mystery to me. The book is very nicely produced and presented with helpful conclusion and exercises. (Sean Marsh CHESS Magazine)

The authors succeed in explaining the various concepts and attacking plans for Black quite well. Typically, a good opening book like this is also quite useful for White and contains a lot of important general advice on improving at chess. (B. Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad)

An awesome follow-up to "The Modern French". (British Chess Magazine)

Written from the perspective of Black, but for the White player it is also an excellent source of information. (Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation)
