Description: This chess book is in very good condition. It has a cover price of $21.95. It was printed by Everyman Chess. This book is ideal for those wanting to understand the basics of Benoni Systems. This book is a study of all the crucial Benoni systems apart from the Modern Benoni. It presents diverse and practical options against the queen's pawn opening for dynamic, tactical players and solid, positional players alike. Included are such daring defences as the controversial Blumenfeld Counter-Gambit and the Benko Gambit, a favorite with uncompromising Grandmasters such as Veselin Topalov and Vassily Ivanchuk. On the other hand, Black also has the opportunity to adopt solid, respectable defences such as the Czech Benoni and the Schmid Benoni. Whether Black likes to sacrifice and take the initiative, or whether he prefers to play in a more restrained manner, there is something here for all types of player. In this user-friendly book, opening theoreticians Alexander Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik go back to basics, studying the fundamental principles of the Benoni Systems and its many variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips and warnings to help you, while key strategies, ideas and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.·User-friendly design to help you absorb the ideas·Concentrates on the key principles of Benoni systems·Ideal for the improving player Contents: Introduction1 The Volga Gambit Accepted2 The Volga Gambit Accepted without 5 bxa63 The Volga Gambit Declined4 The Blumenfeld Gambit and Volga/Blumenfeld Hybrids5 The Czech and Closed Benonis6 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 c5 3 d57 The Schmid Benoni8 The Benoni/King's Indian Hybrid9 Assorted BenonisIndex of VariationsIndex of Complete Games Please check out my store for select categories.
