And a welcome back to Ivan Sokolov, who once wrote a Survey a few years back, in Yearbook 95. Both grandmasters are good old friends of mine and I am delighted that they decided to contribute to the Yearbook. On 26 August, Pal Benko passed away. He was never much of a theoretician and in fact this may have been the reason why he liked the idea of a positional gambit. In the Benko Gambit Black avoids mainstream theory. Shortly before his death Benko was honoured with a theme tournament: all games should be played with the Benko Gambit. Such a tournament belongs to an old tradition that is rarely seen these days. Andras Adorjan and Endre Vegh report. It is always interesting to see top players use openings with both white and black. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov’s method of fighting the Grünfeld is quite instructive. Abhijeet Gupta writes the Survey. In the same sense, the book King’s Indian according to Tigran Petrosian by Igor Yanvarjov is really interesting. Petrosian played the King’s Indian with both colours. I must say that his White games were most instructive in this respect.
