How many times have I been swept off the board?, June 23, 2002
This review is from: The Gambit Guide to the Benko Gambit (Paperback)
The Benko gambit is one of the openings that often got me in trouble. This book has helped me find systems that fit my style and understand what was going on.
A book true to the learning qualities I am used to with The Gambit Guide Serie. Not too complicated, not too simple.

Useful, Comprehensive, Well-Organized, April 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gambit Guide to the Benko Gambit (Paperback)
IM Pedersen has written a clear, comprehensive guide to the Benko and done it in such a fashion as to make it relatively easy to use right away. He organizes his information into ten chapters, with such titles as "The Classical Main Line," "Fianchetto Lines," "Dlugy's 5 f3," and so on. The "Quick Summaries" are especially useful for id'ing plans, themes, and key moves since Pedersen does not use model games but analyzes key variations and move alternatives. A powerful book!
