Arthur van de Oudeweetering is an international master and a chess trainer from the netherlands. 

Voilà le Lakdawala de fin d'année (en attendant celui de janvier 2015). Blague à part, on a beau plaisanter, on ne sait pas comment il fait...,  en plus les bouquins  sont plutôt bien fait. Ce qui est dommage, c'est que Larsen qui  n'avait pas eu les honneurs d'un livre sur ses parties depuis plus de vingt ans,  se retrouve avec deux ouvrages qui sortent en moins de six mois. Pour ceux que ça intérèsse, il y a plus de parties dans celui-ci et il est plus abondament commenté.

They did it! Dejan Antic and Branimir Maksimovic have created a complete chess opening repertoire for Black players in only two books. 

First they wrote the acclaimed The Modern French (against 1.e4). Now The Modern Bogo provides Black players with a comprehensive answer to 1.d4. The two books complement each other perfectly.

The point is that the authors recommend to answer 1.d4 with the direct 1...e6, for the follow-up  2.c4 Bb4+. In this way they avoid complex theoretical Nimzo-Indian lines and enable both amateur and professional players to find their own way in little-explored variations. 

The Modern Bogo covers all the possibilities for White after 1.d4 e6... except for 2.e4, after which you should play the French!

Antic and Maksimovic have done a massive amount of research, and found many new strategic concepts and attacking plans. All of them are explained clearly and thoroughly. 

You will find that this opening not only gives you good chances to equalize as Black, but also many opportunities to play for a win.
