New: Ivan Sokolov's Understanding Middlegame Strategy Vol.14 - Available now!!
The Benoni family of openings has toppled world champions, decided match games under the highest pressure, and rewarded those brave enough to play them with some of the most electrifying chess imaginable. In this Fritztrainer, Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov continues his successful series "Understanding Middlegame Structures" - takes you deep inside the complexities of the Colour Reversed Benoni, the Colour-Reversed Benko Gambit, and the Colour-Reversed Blumenfeld Gambit. This course is ideal for advanced chess players who wish to deepen their structural understanding of one of chess's most theoretically rich opening families. Photos: ChessBase
At the heart of the material is a clear and practical focus on pawn structures and long-term plans. You will learn how Black's dynamic piece activity and structural counterplay more than compensate for White's extra tempo in the colour-reversed setups, and how to exploit the open files, active diagonals, and queenside initiatives that these openings consistently generate.
