The Modern Benoni is one of Black’s most swashbuckling openings, used to devastating effect by such players as Tal, Fischer, Kasparov and Topalov.
From the outset, Black creates extreme imbalance, setting his piece activity and queenside play against White spatial preponderance and central majority. However, during the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the Benoni fell under a cloud as a result of some very direct attacking systems by White.
In this book, John Watson particularly focuses on various subtle move-orders by which Black can try to avoid White’s most dangerous systems and direct the game into more palatable channels.
King’s Indian players will also find this book invaluable, since Watson covers many lines that can arise from King’s Indian move-orders.
International Master John Watson is one of the world’s most respected writers on chess. His ground-breaking four-volume work on the English firmly established his reputation in the 1980s, and he has produced a string of top-quality works since. In 1999, Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy, Watson’s first book for Gambit, won by the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award and the United States Chess Federation Fred Cramer Award for Best Book. His pupils include 1997 World Junior Champion, Tal Shaked.
"John Watson has established himself among the top rank of chess writers in recent years, as anyone who has read Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy will testify. This book continues in a similar excellent vein and represents excellent value for money for anyone seeking an uncompromising way to play against 1 d4" - Alan Sutton, En Passant
"plenty of thought-provoking material" - GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
"this latest work from Watson had a lot to live up to and yet does not disappoint. Throughout this work he remains objective and provides plenty of encouragement to readers who wrongly doubt the Benoni's soundness, whilst he always writes clearly and provides much detailed, and of a high quality, original analysis." - Richard Palliser, Chess Moves
"Any chess book by John Watson is an event, so high is his reputation ... here he offers us a repertoire book for Black in the Modern Benoni. As usual with Watson's opening books, you can be confident that he has done his homework. In every chapter, Watson offers a wealth of new suggestions and fresh assessments of existing ideas" - Phil Adams, The Manchester Chess Scene
"for those who like attacking play in semi-open positions it might be just the right opening ... highly recommended" - John Donaldson (USA Team Captain), Inside Chess Online
