The Benoni is characterised by the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 and is a popular opening weapon amongst club players. On top level it’s a rare guest but with this DVD Rustam Kasimdzhanov, opening expert and second and coach of Fabiano Caruana, might change that.
New ways and approaches in most lines and countless improvements of official theory will show you how to play this opening at any level with success. Kasimdzhanov's preferred move order to reach the Benoni is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 which complements his already published DVD on the Nimzoindian (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4).
Kasimdzhanov goes into extreme detail, showing that the Benoni is a reliable opening that often leads to truly fascinating positions. Players of all levels will enhance their knowledge of the opening and their general understanding of dynamic positions.
Moreover, you’ll be able to practice the lines shown in the Opening Trainer and you can play key positions to improve your understanding of typical structures and patterns of the Benoni.

A lifetime repertoire: Play the Nimzo Indian
This DVD provides everything you need to know to be able to play one of the most classical openings with Black, the Nimzo-Indian, arising after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4. Nearly every World Championship and top tournament features the Nimzo-Indian.
Born in 1979, the grandmaster from Uzbekistan has for many years been known as a very strong and imaginative player. However in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process.
Kasimdzhanov is a witty and entertaining player and presenter who explains chess eloquently, clearly and with a fine sense of humour. His lessons are entertaining and instructive – ideal for students who want to avoid "dry" theory.
Kazimdzhanov helped Vishy Anand in three world championship matches. Currently, he is coach and second of Fabiano Caruana.
