The Modern Benoni (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6) is one of Black's most dynamic queen's pawn openings. From the third move Black strives to create a permanent imbalance in the pawn structure, with exciting results. Both players must be utterly fearless in carrying out their plans; in the Benoni he who hesitates, is lost! It is therefore not surprising that this opening features in the repertoires of such uncompromising players as Veselin Topalov, Nick De Firmian and Lev Psakhis, and was popular with Garry Kasparov and John Nunn in their younger days. This book considers every important variation, with particular emphasis on those that readers are likely to encounter in their own games.

Modernes Benoni entsteht nach den Zügen: 1. d4 Sf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 4. Sc3 exd5 5. cxd5 d6. Nun ist Weiß im Zentrum im Vorteil und darum zumeist bestrebt, seinen e-Bauern voranzutreiben, während Schwarz versucht, seine Bauernmajorität am Damenflügel zur Geltung zu bringen. Es entsteht ein scharfes Spiel mit beiderseitigen Chancen. Der Autor untersucht alle möglichen Varianten in drei Teilen und 10 Kapiteln. Dazu gibt es 64 ausführlich kommentierte Partien. Der Umfang des Materials und gut erklärte Besprechungen jedes Kapitels machen dieses gelungene Buch für alle Anhänger des Modern Benoni empfehlenswert.
