	Yet another book is on the way; S. Kasparovs Benko book from New In Chess will be published 15 october, and not 15 desember as it said in the add. Kasparov has played the Benko "all his life" so im really looking foreward to this book. Ben

Not that I have time to study new openings before winter (endgames has heigher priorery) but winter is comming soon. According to Aveskulov and his novelty its ... suprise suprise... a draw. But up to move 20 or so, both sides has to know what they are doing, as always. Before that, anything can happen! @Tony37 Kaufmans 5.Bf4 is not even metioned. Miles-variation is prehaps more to the point. I find it hard to believe that 5.Bf4 is the end of Blumenfeld. But as a suprise to the suprise weapon, yes! The counter gambit 5.e4 is mentioned in a note, and ends with unclear play.

	Kaufman suggests 5.Bf4 against the Blumenfeld and I think it's quite good (of course I did my own research here, I don't trust something because Kaufman says so). I also think the counter-gambit 5.e4 is fully playable

And what his main suggestion against the 5. Bg5 Blumenfeld is? Yes, no prob The book format is A5 Blumenfeld early deviations/accepted is 13 pages in all, and 8 pages devoted to the ML with 5.dxe6-fxe6 6.cxb5-d5, and so on. A personal note here: 6...a6!? may also interest you, but its not covered in the book. Blumenfeld with 5.Bg5 is 10 pages, starting with: 5...exd5 6.cxd5 (6.cxb5!? in a note) d6. Here he`s covering the moves: 7.e3!? 7.a4 7.e4 and very consentrated on the ML with 7.e4. (@ErictheRed: he follwos the game: van Wely-Feigin, Dutch Team ch 2008/9, but deviates on move 20) The 1.d4-Sf6 2.c4-c5 3.Sf3 line, which he names "The Vaganian gambit", is spilt in two chapters; each on 12 pages each. First chaper covers the possibillities up to 7.N5c3 or 7.N1c3. The other cover the ML with 7.e3. My impression is that the lines Aveskulov gives is very ML orientated and/or direct. For example, in the Benkø he gives 9...Nbd7 against the 10.Rb1 line. He aslo seems very objective. Hope this can help. Ben

	I'd also like to know what his coverage of the Blumenfeld consists of. I'd play it (possibly as a companion to the Nimzo) if I felt comfortable after 5.Bg5, which I do not.

Perhaps that's just what the Benko is; a great practical choice in blitz and rapid, and against not-too-booked-up opponents!? I don't think it's a question of being booked up, unless White wants to play 5.f3 or perhaps 5.e3. In most cases, it's a question of knowing what to do. Dont quite get your point here. Is 5.f3 or 5.e3 is by far the most theoretic?

It means that I was wrong, and the pill that I must swallow, i will have to do in shame. Its still fresh, but Aveskulov is giving a real confident impression. But! Haven`t checked teh Blumenfelds chapters though. I presume that the benkø part will be loved by benkø players! Anyway. I surely think this book is worth the buy. Ben

	Oh, THAT mainline! Aveskulov covers 12.h3 and 12.Re1 in the 'King Walk' but not 12.a4 or 12.Qe2 as far as I can tell.

	Your`re not wrong Kxf1, g3.Kg2 and 12.a4. So the old ML it is. Thx for clear this up. Thought I said so.. Chess is hard! Ben
