I like Montany’s explanations because they are easy to follow and remember, and he did a good job for both sides. If your resolution for 2018 is to find a new weapon for fighting the KID and the Benoni, this is definitely the book for you! --- Davide Nastasio, georgiachessnews.com ----- The Modern Samisch is mostly geared towards competitive, highly-ranked players. Yet given that Montany spends ten pages explaining the first six moves at the outset of the book, as well as taking time to explain the underlying themes of the positions at hand throughout the book, The Modern Samisch becomes accessible to players of any level. Though, of course, the lower down the spectrum you are, the harder you will have to work. --- Mark Donlan, ChessCafe.com
