    Son of Sorrow
  

*by F***2 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2014*

Son of sorrow - or something like it - is (apparently) the translation of 'Ben-Oni' the title of the German manuscript of 1825 from which the Modern Benoni opening takes it's name. Openings that aren't named after either people, places or more occasionally animals are rare. Really good books in the Grandmaster Repertoire series are, happily, more commonplace. I confess I got this book  not to take up the Benoni against 1.d4 but to get a good 'map' of white's options against the Benoni. Having read it I think the author, Marian Petrov, has done a fine job and I've become if not a convert then at least a fellow traveller. An interesting feature of this book is the author's policy on providing more than just a single 'recommended' line. At first the idea of going through a variation that isn't going to be 'recommended' sounds a bit odd but it can be instructive. You can't but fail to realise that the Benoni is imbalanced, explosive, risky and dare it be said - win or lose - fun. One smallish moan considering this is sold as a repertoire book. If your 1.d4 ... 2.c4 playing opponent isn't man, woman or machine enough to push that pawn on to d5 and satisfy your newfound craving for risk you will have to look elsewhere for advice on ways to go. Whilst no one can cover 'everything' some word of comfort or a pointer or two about anti-Benoni lines would have been nice. Still worth the five stars though.

    Great up-to-date coverage of the Modern Benoni
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2014*

I have most books on the Benoni in my collection but this is the most comprehensive book containing all the latest theoretical lines in the Modern Benoni. The author explains the main lines and offers interesting alternative lines. The Modern Benoni is a very dynamic opening and many lines require Black to sacrifice material to keep the balance and generate counter play and attacking chances. A must-have book for any serious Benoni player.
