This book covers the strategies and middle game themes of the Benko Gambit. It shows how black has a better endgame in the Benko, and how to pressurize white even though you are a pawn down, but with better piece mobility. It is also good from the white side, as it shows strategies to counter the benko. This is a impartial book showing 80 well annotated games. Covers eacy key line in this opening and shows the major themes and key strategical and tactical motifs in each variation.
After reading this I would recommend the reader to also read the Modern Benoni by the same author, which is another cousin varation of the benko, with similar pawn structures. The games are extremely interesting, and if you are a benko gambit player like I am from either side then this is a must on your bookshelf.
