Modern Benoni

The Modern Benoni 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6 is one of Black's most exciting and adventurous responses to the Queen's Pawn Opening. Young English Grandmaster David Norwood has established a reputation for handling the Benoni with great skill and scoring a high percentage of wins. Here, by means of 40 annotated games, he covers all the main lines with the emphasis on ideas, plans, typical tactics and true understanding - rather than masses of variations.

Players of all strengths will enjoy this lively and highly instructive work.
