I'm a 2100. I tried this opening out and caught another 2100 with it on my first try lol. Definitely sticking with this opening.

This was awesome, D4 fo life🤘🏼a video on the benko gambit from whites side next would be sweet

Thank you for the video this is a good opening in my opinion there's alot of tactics you can use with this.

That's why I play c5 on the first move and play e6 in the middle game so I have no weakness on d6 and can peacfully go for b5 or e6

Me ha encantado! Ultimamente siempre juego el gambito de dama y buscaba como jugar contra la beroni :P Saludos desde Oslo :)

Awesome vid dude! a

Ive been enjoying the benoni lately, please dont teach people to beat me :(

1 year later this video shows up the day everyone is playing the Benoini against Jobava London. Not all my games go this direction but the general ideas here have my win rate between 60-70%. Thank you for the video!!

Hey, (i too am a metal head) I play the Jobava and am looking for good lines against the benoni. With the Jobava the knight is in front of the c pawn... I find it v challenging to transpose into something good against benoni.

If you play the Benoni regularly then you know how to react to the Taimanov. It is white's most direct try so the forcing sequences are quite easy to learn. The line with 8...Nbd7; 9. e5 de; 10. fe Nh5; 11. e6 Qh4+ is quite a famous one that illustrates well that white's king is actually exposed. While the Computers say this is great for white, practical games have shown that black's chances are at least equal except at the very top level. In other words, you have to know this line if you play 7. f4. It is not enough to say "This is very good". An example of how easy it is as white to lose is the well-known game Lautier-Ivanchuk 1995. I strongly recommend a deeper look before playing this variation.

I never went e6 right away after white advance. I go g6. Then d6. Then bish g7. Then enrook. Then e6. I only go e6 right away if white eats.

Awesome

Thanks so much! I needed to get rid of these pesky openings! I subbed btw

I just played a ton of 30 second matches against a 1900 rated player today and I've learned how to play against it pretty decently lol. I'm a 750 rated bullet player btw. Definitely a fun opening to play against imo.

Balloni Gambit...kkkkkk..

I love a Benoni sub...

Why you gotta tell people how to beat me?!? Dang it. Now I have to pick a different response to d4.

It should be called The Banana.

Taiminov

Tiamanov

let me guess. you wanna keep the center...

Heyy anna... I've got to know you from that stream that you did with Samay no too long ago... And I just can't stop smiling while watching your videos.... Any suggestions on how to concentrate on your content rather than concentrating on you?

Omg she's literally the most gorgeous human being I've ever seen. Aphrodite herself would be mesmerized.

Basically is annoying

Need more objective analysis on this one. No good player will play anything other than Nfd7, so spend more time exploring all of the variations that arise when your opponent doesn't simply blunder the opening

Her line is good if u play against 500

Kinda of embarrassing if you don't know the lines and have to wait for the engine to bail you out in the middle of your video.

Thanks
