Any Good Books on the Czech Benoni

Sort:
sndeww

I'm looking for an alternative to the Budapest Gambit, not because of its soundness, but just for a change of pace. Right now I can only see the Czech Benoni in action on Amazon. Are there any other good books besides this one, or is this the best choice on the topic?

This is not actually helping Snudoo, you know...

Well, I found quite a few books on the Benoni in general, but I really can't find any book on the Czech Benoni other than the one by Asa Hoffman. So maybe I'm a bad searcher.

Opening books are a little outdated, so get online courses. But seriously, the opening is the most important part of the game. Looking at insane brilliances from the strongest players of all time will not make us stronger.

That's why he wants the book. He wants to win, not draw.

Search Czech Benoni in Chessbase. Its a little pricey, at around 30 bucks, but their opening repertoire is reviewed by IM's GM's and several top engines and AI's

I have a similar case. I used to play the Budapest Gambit in OTB and online, but my coach hooked me up with the Nimzo-Indian which is solid and sometimes aggressive happy.png

The Czech Benoni is not the opening you play to win with 

That’s what Nigel short said about the alekhines

but then he used it against Kasparov, so...

Nobody plays the Czech 

therefore it is not the book that’s outdated it’s the opponent
