About this product
 
World Champion Mikhail Tal enjoyed confusing his opponents with the intricacies of The Modern Benoni, and Bobby Fischer employed it to win a critical game against Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Championship.  More recently, the current World Champion Vladimir Kramnik unexpectedly essayed the Benoni in his title fight against Peter Leko in a situation where he needed to go all out for the win.  With such role models, it has always been popular with club players.

This book is the latest in the "Revealed" series, in which the key ideas of chess openings are explained in an entertaining and accessible way, using fresh, clear presentation--ideal for improving players.

Features:
  • "First Moves" leads you through the basic opening moves
  • "Heroes & Zeroes" gives the best and worst performances with the modern Benoni and features some of its leading exponents
  • "Tricks & Traps" reveals how you can catch out your opponent
  • "What's Hot" pinpoints the latest ideas from the world's elite
