New in Chess is advertising this book now, so it must be out.

Up to Everyman's site, it is.

The Czech Benoni appeals to players who prefer closed, strategic games without lots of early fireworks. If White wants to get anything against a Czech Benoni player, then he really needs to know the plans inside-out. Go-for-broke attackers won't know what to do with no tactics going on. That's the idea, anyway.

Yes, but a little slip by black against an aggressive white player and the game becomes a real massacre. Black is left with a lot of (sacrifice) targets for creative minds...

I don't know much about these lines as there aren't very many GM games. Is black struggling to equalize in the czech benoni and schmitt benoni?  What is the appeal to playing these systems other than their offbeat status.

Is the book out now? I'm waiting for this ultra slow motion chess with all the pieces crawling around in darkness and waiting for the sun to shed brighter light on a later scene. Undecided


Not yet, but it will be soon. (but you must ask Everyman how they define the word "soon")

There are some pdfs for download now at http://www.everymanchess.com/chess/books/How_to_Play_against_1d4. I am a bit disappointed that the book doesn't seem to offer a complete repertoire after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5.

Thanks for the link to the pdf. But if I understand well, the book is a complete repertoire for Black with 1.d4 c5. So, it's not so surprising if it doesn't cover 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5.

Nevertheless, Palliser writes the following in its introduction: "Unfortunately the Czech Benoni only arises after 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e5. In Chapter Four I have sketched out a mini-repertoire for Black against White’s 3rd-move alternatives,"; you may still have some complete repertoire after 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5. But it's sure that this book won't cover 2nd-move alternatives from 2.c4.

I'm eager to see how well Palliser covers 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e5 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 Nf8!? 7. h3 and now if 7...Ng6 8. g3! or 7...h5 8. g3 followed by 9. h4. I always thought this line was fairly difficult to play for Black, as he's positioned his pieces well to control squares that White has just sealed off. Very constricting.

Has anyone seen Andrew Martin's Czech Benoni DVD? I generally refrain from the DVD since it is impossible to really give a good theoretical explanation of all the lines, but since there doesn't seem to be much need to know theory maybe this could be a good resource; what do you guys think?

I felt it was one of the better Chessbase DVDs I have watched. There is some other thread with some more discussion on it.

What is the Kasparov Gambit against 3 Nf3? THis was mentioned in 2nd post above mine.


1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nb5 d5. It can also be reached via 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nb5 d5 so usually it is considered a part of the English Opening.
Kasparov played this a couple of times with success in the early 80's. It seems to be entirely correct, though quite a few stronger players than me have tried to prove an advantage of course.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Yes, for a 2100-2200 player this should be quite fine. I mean, Seirawan beat Lautier, Nisipeanu has beaten quite a few people, Larsen has played it, Petrosian has played it. It's good enough. It has has some advantage in that if you study it well you'll know all the right plans and tactical ideas, and your opponents will wasted time thinking in the opening to figure out where their pieces should go, then will waste more time trying to find a plan. I don't like playing against it, and I know I'm not the only one. It comes up so rarely that most people have no idea what the hell theyre doing!  Grin
