The Benko Gambit Accepted
592 Seiten, kartoniert, Russell Enterprises, 1. Auflage 2025
A Dynamic Positional Enterprise
More than a half-century ago, Hungarian-American Grandmaster Pal Benko crafted a strategy for Black to meet 1.d4. A Benoni-style pawn structure is followed by a strike on the queenside ...b7-b5! While this tactic had already been known, it was Benko who shaped it into a dynamic, dangerous system.
In this first book of a two-volume set, the authors examine the Benko Gambit Accepted in great detail. In addition, understanding that the opening analysis should not stand alone, they examine over 300 endgames arising from these lines. The result is an incredibly thorough and comprehensive treatment of one of Black’s most energetic defenses.
In his Introduction, Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias points out that overall, the Benko Gambit is really a dynamic positional enterprise. Black sacrifices a pawn for open lines on the queenside while at the same time, the black king is relatively safe.
Three-time U.S. Champion, Grandmaster Lev Alburt has been a powerful proponent of the Benko:
An impressive work by excellent authors. I particularly like the QuickStarter! Section and the chapter on the endgames arising out of the Benko Gambit.
