The Benoni Simplified by NM Bryan Tillis

This “Trident of Counterplay”
Always Presses for the WIN
and Never Lets Up

Wrest the initiative with this complete repertoire for Black against 1.d4, 1.c4, and 1.Nf3. It simplifies your quest for an opening edge into 3 proven methods of counterattack and just 120 MoveTrainer variations.

Benoni: Simplified by National Master Bryan Tillis starts with 1…Nf6 — challenges the enemy center with 2…c5 — then grabs control of the long diagonal with 3…g6 and …Bg7.

Tillis chose this precise move order to keep the must-study theory as light as possible — only 120 lines — while the Benoni’s heavy-hitting “trident of counterplay” remains as potent as ever!

The Benoni — your new favorite weapon
against 1.d4, 1.c4, and 1.Nf3

It combines “hit-and-run” tactics along the e-file, unshakeable control of the dark squares, and menacing queenside pawns to throw off White’s balance.

So when they finally slip, winning becomes as simple as following Tillis’ analysis!

As the founder of the scholastic Palm Beach Chess Club and a Chessable author with ambitious students, Tillis’ Benoni: Simplified flattens your learning curve with consistent themes and transpositions…

While cutting-edge analysis — inspired by the latest GM games — pushes your counterpunching potential to the limit!

The super-solid London System? Taken care of in just 6 variations. And the devious Jobava? Dealt with in 9.

Your go-to weapons against the Jobava:
A monster bishop on the b1-h7 diagonal
and lasting pressure on the c-file

Against the King’s Indian-like 1.Nf3, a gradual but inevitable central advance leaves you with a BIG plus. Meanwhile, your lines against 1.c4 lead to an exchange sacrifice that scores 70% for Black!

However, Benoni: Simplified shines the brightest when White plays 1.d4 main lines.

Because here, the “trident of counterplay” is used at maximum power — alternating between the e-file, dark squares, and the queenside before breaking through where it’s least expected!

After poking, prodding, and luring defenders away,
the “trident of counterplay” culminates in an unexpected
kingside attack! (0-1, 43 moves)

Simply put, if you want an all-in-one repertoire against nearly anything, except 1.e4…

One you can trust to support your winning ambitions for as long as you play…
