From my experience, Black players has been always debating which variation to play after 1.d4 d5 . 2c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4. My suggestion is reliable 5...e6. I offer a very detailed coverage from the starting position after 5...e6. Depending on White choice the play might be very sharp (White can sacrifice a pawn in several variations), or more positional after 6.e3. If you study my file you are going to feel very comfortable for many years ahead! Published for Advanced level only.

There are separate 23 chapters and 23 memory test positions in the file. The cherry on top is Adhiban Gambit in the main line 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 e4 4.Ng5 c6!?.

I am aware that many players feel uncomfortable against 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5. In his second publication Michael Roiz offers White solution against Benko Gambit. I believe it's a great timing since Black has discovered some playable lines against the main 5.bxa6 . I am a big believer that Benko offers White an opportunity to fight for advantage and the right approach is to have a good line against it. Studying this variation is a great investment in long run!

Recently Modern Benoni has been very trendy thanks to the efforts of Super GM Richard Rapport. Also Magnus played it successfully during Grenke tournament.

When we encounter the most popular White opening against 1.e4 e5 Giuoco Piano, or so called Italian the majority of players prefer 3...Bc5. I am pretty sure that there will be many players, who would prefer to have Black bishop on e7, or avoid some of the White alternatives to slow Italian ( set-up with d3). It can be achieved through 3...Nf6 move order, but not everyone like to study 4.Ng5 line and all complicated positions, which are happening after 4...d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Bb5 c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 etc , which you can already find on my web page. Therefore I believe it would be a great news for Black players to know that 5...b5 is viable alternative to well-established theory.
