United States Champion Joel Benjamin is one of the top American players of all time, with a record 16 consecutive United States Championship participations. He has represented the United States in numerous Olympiads and World Team Championships. Benjamin has reached the qualifying stages of the World Championship three times, and is likely to have another chance soon.
This sampling of Benjamin's games will give the reader a good idea of the style and technique he has used to win titles. A tremendous counter-puncher, Benjamin's attacks often explode from seemingly blockaded positions. His pieces seem to be retreating only to turn and bravely attack the foe. Indeed, his middlegame style is distinctly individual, relying on strong endgame play to take advantage when his late middlegame attacks do not.
Prolific tournament bulletin editor Bill Haines has selected 64 games to represent Joel Benjamin's successful play at the board. National Master Eric Schiller has contributed a biographical sketch and light notes to the games, which give great pleasure when played through.
