Any and every opening book is out of date. Unfortunately this is true and there isno getting away from it. But why do I recommend my book to you, dear reader?First of all, the lines are all analyzed very deeply. You do not have to turn on theengine and wait for the computer to produce a ready-made solution. Believe me,in analyzing this book, I used the most modern equipment, and thus the readersaves a lot of time. In our information age, time is very precious, and by buying mybook you will gain at least time. I have spent a huge amount of my own timeanalyzing the various lines, but also commenting on the options especially for you,my friends.In addition, in this book's pages you will find tons of novelties not seen in practice,and in many of the lines I offer strong improvements. Many sources were reviewed,where the authors defended certain options from White'spoint of view, while Idefended Black's side. In addition, this book has absorbed my attitude andapproach to various positions, and I have been analyzing the Benko Gambit formore than 10 years! I wanted to approach each position from the point of view ofa human, as close as possible to a practical game. In addition, even if this bookbecomes outdated at some point, I am sure that it will always be possible toimprove the variations - but the backbone of studying this opening can be takenfrom this book; this is normal work on chess IM Alexey Kovalchuk
