Reloaded Weapons in the Benoni

Stormester Pavlovic med en rykende oppdatert bok for svart i Moderne Benoni: 1 d4 Sf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6 4 Sc3 exd5 5 cxd5 d6 6 Sf3 g6. Både boka og åpningen er såpass krevende - og sylskarp - at den passer best for spillere med rating over 14-1500.

Moderne Benoni er en åpning som krever både teorikunnskaper og ferdigheter. Som forfatteren skriver i forordet: "...to play and understand the Benoni you have to know and understand the theoretical plans, to an almost perfect level. Equally important is to understand the dynamics of chess."

Forfatteren mener å tilby svart fullverdig spill, kanskje bortsett fra med firbondeangrepet 6 e4 g6 7 f4 Lg7 8 Lb5+ der han ser ut til å innrømme at hvit beholder de tydelig beste sjansene. Åpningen oppstår derfor i praksis oftest når hvit spiller et litt tidlig Sf3, for eksempel: 1 d4 Sf6 2 c4 e6 3 Sf3 c5 4 d5 exd5.

Forlagets egen omtale:

The sharp and fascinating Benoni opening had been under a serious cloud. In the 20th Century, it was played by World Champions Mikhail Tal and Gary Kasparov, who liked the unbalanced positions. But Black had a difficult time to survive in the past decade.

Grandmaster Milos Pavlovic rehabilitated the opening using many new and unexplored ideas. We are convinced he will inspire the Benoni player to use his reloaded weapons for their own benefit! With this new book, Pavlovic finishes his trilogy. He has also published: Unknown Weapons in the Grünfeld and New Weapons in the King´s Indian. This is his final volume of the series.
