Description

In Winning Pawn Play in the Indian Defenses, Henrique Marinho provides the guideposts that you need to make your way through the forest of strategies and variations in the King's Indian and Benoni. Aron Nimzowitsch’s neglected idea of the “qualitative pawn majority” serves as the basic compass in the author’s systematic exploration of the plans available to both White and Black, showing how typical Indian pawn formations suggest each player’s strategic opportunities… and the consequences of ignoring what the pawn structure tells you.

Firstly, This book only covers some of the pawn structures of the King'S Indian, Benoni and the Spanish (Ruy Lopez). There is no coverage of the pawn structure of the exchange variation of the King's Indian. There is no coverage of pawn structures of the Nimzoindian. All the book seems to do is classify the pawn structures and give some new terminology to various pawn moves (e.g. "inversion") and exchanges. Some of the old terminology is from the book "My System" by Aron Nimzovitch and some from the book "Pawn Power in Chess" by Hans Kmoch. I did not notice any real attempt to suggest the most desirable pawn structures for white and black or where the pieces would optimally be placed for a given pawn structure or which pieces to exchange. Please also note that the author decided to give very few variations so I won't penalize him for that but a lot of the observations are trite. It is really hard to decide who this book is for. Class A players and above will not learn much if anything while lower rated players should choose to play other chess openings.
