The Benko Gambit has enormous appeal to those who like to take the initiative with the black pieces. Black boldly sacrifices a pawn in the opening, and in return gets a secure position, and attractive prospects both in the short term and the long term.
This book provides complete and even-handed coverage of this popular gambit. Pedersen explains in detail the strategic concepts behind the Benko and the typical manoeuvres for both sides, while supplying concise theoretical coverage of every important variation. He particularly concentrates on White´s modern approaches, whereby he gives the pawn back and fights vigorously for the initiative.
The unique GAMBIT system makes it easy to use the book to the maximum practical advantage. 'Quick Summaries' introduce the main themes of each system, where appropriate suggesting a coherent repertoire of reliable lines. Then comes detailed, unbiased coverage of all the critical lines, for reference and detailed study. Wether you´re looking for a quick introduction to an opening system for surprise use, a refresher course in a favourite opening or to research an opening deeply, the GAMBIT guide is the ideal choice.
International Master Steffen Pedersen is a young player from Denmark who first attained notoriety by scoring a grandmaster norm when he was 16. He has earned a reputation as a fine writer, and his work on the Dutch Defence and Sicilian Scheveningen has been especially praised.
