The Modern Benoni - GM Repertoire 12 Marian Petrov

Modern Benoni emerges after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6.

It leads to unbalanced structures and exciting games, which, naturally, has been the favorite of ambitious players such as Tal, Fischer and, more recently, Topalov, Ivanchuk and Gashimov.

The Modern Benoni is a bold answer for 1.d4 and GM Marian Petrov shows that it is possible to play this line with confidence without memorizing extreme levels of theory.

Black must be well prepared, but the workload is less than that of the most aggressive defenses: this book provides everything the Negro needs to know.

Marian Petrov is a great teacher and former Bulgarian champion. He has a great experience in modern Benoni and has used it to win many international events.
