Canadian Master Paul Janicki explores a popular variation of the English Opening in this first volume of a two-part series (the second volume treats the Four Knights system). The analysis is extremely thorough and illustrated with current tournament practice examples.
'Anglo-Benoni: Four Knights' System" is a companion volume to the Two Knights' system, which was presented in Volume I. Classified as A33 in the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings, it is characterized by the opening moves 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6 4 d4 cxd4 5 Nxd4, thus dealing with variations which include Nc3 and Nc6. This book examines over 400 games completing the study of the Anglo-Benoni system.
A thoroughly modern system of opening play, it is rich in very dynamic and intricate strategic concepts. The main variations begin with 6 g3 or 6 Ndb5, introducing vastly different opening strategy. 6 g3, favored by Portisch, is the quiet variant which accentuates quick and harmonious development, forcing Black to quickly seek active play. 6 Ndb5, on the other hand, is the more tactical line where White concentrates on exploiting the weaknesses along the h2-b8 diagonal, often at the price of development. The latter variation has been severely tested by Korchnoi arid Andersson.
The Four Knights' system made its first appearance in tournament play in the game Nimzowitsch - Tarrasch at the Karlovy Vary tournament of 1923. Sporadically employed ever since, it gained universal acceptance only in the late 1970's. Its main exponents are Korchnoi, Portisch and Andersson, but we can also find it in the repertoire of many leading grandmasters, such as Kasparov, Karpov, Tal, Petrosian, Smyslov, Bronstein and Polugaevsky. Strangely enough, this opening system has been rather shunned by North America, with just Reshevsky and Spraggett accounting for the notable exceptions. Once again the Anglo-Benoni is recommended for the resourceful player, who would like to experiment in the new and relatively unexplored field of the opening theory. There is an abundance of novel and untested ideas, even in the earliest stages of the game, waiting to be discovered and tested in tournament play.
