Ivan Sokolov on Reversed-Colour Benoni, Blumenfeld and Benko – Complex Positions for White and BlackPlaying your own Black opening with the white pieces is an attractive idea. Three such reversed-colour systems are the subject of Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov's latest middlegame course: the Benoni, the Blumenfeld Gambit and the Benko Gambit, all with colours reversed. In this Fritztrainer, Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov - continuing his successful series "Understanding Middlegame Structures" - takes you deep inside the complexities of the Colour-Reversed Benoni, the Colour-Reversed Benko Gambit, and the Colour-Reversed Blumenfeld Gambit. In the reversed Benoni and Benko, the emphasis is on strategically complex middlegame positions rather than theoretical debates. ConclusionPlayers who already use, or are considering taking up, the Benoni or Benko with colours reversed will find plenty of valuable strategic ideas in Ivan Sokolov's middlegame course.
