Modern Chess Openings by Walter Korn is a major reference work in chess opening theory, forming one of the most widely used editions of the long-running MCO (Modern Chess Openings) encyclopedia series.
The book provides a comprehensive classification of chess openings, covering responses to 1.e4, 1.d4, and flank openings in a structured, reference-oriented format.
Korn organizes opening theory into main lines and sub-variations, offering evaluative assessments that help readers understand which positions are considered sound or playable.
The emphasis is on breadth of coverage rather than deep instructional explanation, making it a tool for consultation, repertoire building, and theoretical overview.
It includes dense variation trees, occasional commentary, and established theoretical evaluations, reflecting the state of opening knowledge during its publication period.
A foundational resource for serious players, analysts, and opening theory students, especially those seeking a historically important and encyclopedic guide to chess openings.
