Chess Explained is a new series of books about chess openings. They are not
theoretical works in the traditional sense, but more a series of lessons from a
chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience with an opening. You will
gain an understanding of the opening and the middlegames to which it leads,
enabling you to find the right moves and plans in your own games. It is as if
you were sitting at the board with a chess coach answering your questions about
the plans for both sides, the ideas behind particular moves, and what specific
knowledge you need to have.
- 25 recent and highly instructive games discussed in detail
- Chapter
introductions and conclusions emphasize the key points
- Full indexes of
games and variations
- Extensive verbal explanations of plans and manoeuvres
The Modern Benoni is a perennial favourite among players looking to create
winning chances with Black. It is one of the few openings where White has no
easy way to force drawish simplifications or deny Black any dynamic counterplay.
Both players need to understand the imbalances in the position and pursue their
plans with great vigour. In this book Franco shows how Black can seek to create
the kind of mayhem that has attracted champions such as Tal, Kasparov and
Topalov to the Benoni, and also demonstrates how White can seek either to put a
positional clamp on the game, or else to storm Black's position before his
development is complete. A special section deals with the vital question of
move-orders.
Zenon Franco is a grandmaster from Paraguay who now lives in Spain. He
is an experienced chess trainer, his most notable former pupil being Paco
Vallejo, now one of the world's top grandmasters.
