Surprise 1.d4 players with these 9 lines
The Old Benoni Defense (1.d4 c5) is a defense that flies under the radar these days.
With "old" being part of the name and seldom being in the discussion of "top-tier" openings, it gets written off quickly.
But it took your author, International Master Yuriy Krykun, from 1600 to 2000 FIDE as his primary defense against 1.d4. And he can help you do the same, as he knows the struggles of the average club player and has all the experience with this opening.
In the full course, Black is Back: Old Benoni, he gives detailed explanations on the ideas of this underrated gem, without requiring you to memorize a bible of theoretical variations.
With Short & Sweet: Old Benoni Defense Krykun gives you a taste of such expert instruction on this surprise weapon in 9 lines.
