Kindle Book on Four Pawns Attack

Former New Jersey state chess champion, NM Edward Allen, has written a kindle book on the Four Pawns Attack in the Benoni and King's Indian defenses.

The book is composed of 12 annotated games that illustrate the key ideas for both sides in this opening.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
