What is he calling the Benko Attempt?  Does he no longer advocate playing the Fianchetto variation of the Benko accepted, or is there a different volume that covers the proper Benoni move order 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5?

6. e4 and black can either transpose to the KID with 6...d6 or play 6...d5 which is not that pleasant for black after 7.e5.

PS : It's excellent

Hello folks,


An excerpt of Avrukh's second edition can be found here: http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/ebooks/GM2A-KingsIndianandGrunfeld-excerpt.pdf

I have a very specific question:

According to the excerpt Avrukh wants to go 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 c6 4.Bg2 d5 5.Qa4!?
I get it, he wants to avoid the mainlines of the solid c6/d5 Grunfeld.

But what is he playing after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.Nc3 c6 followed by d5?

At least in the index of variations this move order is not mentioned. After 6.Nf3 d5 we are right back in a variation Avrukh wants to avoid.
I cannot imagine Avrukh has overlooked moveorder.

Maybe 6.e4 followed by Nge2?

Is there someone out there owning the book who can clarify? Thanks a lot  Smiley

PS: What is your general opinion on Avrukh's recent effort?
