exponents of the Modern Defence in the sixties and early seventies, adding
valuable new ideas to the theory of the opening.  Many players of the day
questioned the validity of Suttles's ideas but it did not stop him from
terrorizing the North American chess scene and he became the second Canadian
to earn the GM title in 1973.  Today, the Modern is a frequent guest in
international events since it allows flexible, fighting chess from the early
stages of play.} 5. Bb3 Nf6 6. Nbd2 O-O 7. O-O Bg4 {Black has numerous options
here: 7...d5, 7...c5, 7...b5, 7...Na6, etc.  However, as noted in Volume Two

immediately doesn't work out well after 7...Nbd7 8.Re1 e5 9.Nc4, and White has
a considerable edge.} 8. e5 dxe5 9. dxe5 Nd5 10. h3 Bxf3 $6 ({After this
