Grandmaster Repertoire 12 - Petrov, The Modern Benoni (kart.)
304 S., kart., 2013
The Modern Benoni arises after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6. It leads to unbalanced structures and exciting play, so it has naturally been a favourite of ambitious, attacking players such as tal, Fischer and mire recently, Topalov, Ivanchuk and Gashimov.
The Modern Benoni is bold answer to 1.d4 and GM Marian petrov shows it is posiible to play this line confidently without memorizing extrme levels of theroy. Black must certainly be well prepared, but the workload is less than for most aggreissive defences - this biik supplies all Black needs to know.
