Questions of Modern Chess Theory is the lost masterpiece of Soviet chess
literature. It was written by a two-time Ukrainian Champion, and
published in the Soviet Union in 1956. Russian experts say it is one of
the most influential chess books of the 20th century, yet it has never
been published in English. Questions of Modern Chess Theory has been
edited to make it useful for the 21st century and is now accessible for
the first time to an English-speaking audience. Isaac Lipnitsky was a
major player on the Soviet chess scene just after World War Two, strong
enough to take the scalps of Keres, Smyslov and Petrosian.
