The Benko Gambit is one of the most profound contributions to
opening theory of the 20th Century. Black sacrifices a pawn as
early as move three for enduring positional pressure. On this new
Chess Base DVD, International Master Andrew Martin traces the
history of the Gambit from the games of Opocensky, Lundin and
Stoltz back in the 1930s, through the golden age of Bronstein,
Benko and Browne all the way to the present day, where the gambit
is as popular as ever.
