[Zhenia Vasiliev · Rating 4 out of 5]

a great systematic presentation of the modernist approach to chees playing, with examples that actually describe the thought process, which I found rather interesting to read. There's also the English language version, which looks slightly differerent (ISBN 9780713478853)
