Product Description

The Benko Gambit is an aggressive and tactical reply to 1.d4. It will help you get an aggressive position, full of tactical possibilities. This is the best way to guarantee victory!

Usually, the d4 players would like to have a stable situation in the center and hope for a maneuver game. With Benko Gambit you can destroy their plans and ideas; take them out of their comfort zone…

Benko is not similar to other gambits with unclear compensation, but a positional robust opening system that survived through centuries. The main idea of this system is to give up a pawn on the queenside and then press White’s weak pawns with rooks and a powerful fianchetto g7 bishop. In many cases, White loses the game by a tactical blow; something you can do in the future.

Benko Gambit is a base in order to understand more complex openings like Benoni and King’s Indian Defense. It should be your first step before learning more advanced openings.

It has a lot of positional ideas that will help you improve your level to intermediate (more than 1200 ELO) or strong player (more than 1800 ELO). Black’s pieces have very typical and characteristic positions. The maneuvers are standard and for that reason, you’ll remember them easily.

It is a system that helped me to get a 1900 FIDE ELO rating and perform my best win against a 2300 ELO player; with black pieces!
