Opening Repertoire: The Modern Benoni
«Doknjas provides the most original and comprehensive Benoni repertoire of recent works. It shows how to fight against not only the positional variations with Nf3, but also the sharpest attacking lines White can throw at his opponent. An excellent resource for the practical player - John Watson, Chess Life. ---- I have to say that I regard this as an excellent opening book.Doknjas provides excellent explanations, both wordy and in concrete lines, and his Q&A and Exercises are always relevant to the material. When he feels appropriate, he is not afraid to recommend lesser-played lines and he backs up his choices with solid analysis and reasoning. His recommendations appear sound and those lines I have tested with an engine do not fall foul of computer analysis... I recommend this book to anyone who is already playing the Modern Benoni or who is looking to take it up. Even players who face the Benoni from the White side will get benefit from this book, at least an idea of the current state of theory of this opening, but obviously bear in mind that it is a repertoire book from Black's viewpoint. - Colin Purdon, British Chess News»
The Modern Benoni is just about the most aggressive method that Black can choose to counter White's 1 d4. In the main line variations Black allows White to have a preponderance of central pawns which, traditionally, grants the first player the advantage. Les mer
