How do Benko players answer 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 ?
Hi Benko players
I was wondering if you have a backup repertoire that transposes to 1.d4 and that you reach via 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 ? Some Queen’s Gambit or Slav variation that enables to complem... Started 04/02/21 at 15:47:06 by LaurentB |

Playing the Benko...
Does anyone have any good repertoire suggestions for playing the Benko against, say, 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3? Is the best bet to head into a Kings Indian with 2...g6?
Are there any interesting move orders... Started 11/11/09 at 18:43:36 by naughtyknight « Pages 1 2 all » |

Perunovic is writing a book on the Benko
According to the Thinkers Publishing website, Perunovic's The Hyper Modernized Benko Gambit will be appearing in December. I look very forward to this, as I assume other Benko aficionados will.

Benko via 1...Nf6 or 1...c5?

Perunovic variation/ Modern Benko
Hi.
I hope there is someone that can compare the statistics I get from TWIC with Megabase 2016 in the Perunovic/ Modern Benko variation. The moves usually played is this: [pgn][Event "Qatar M...|/pgn] Now, in my TWIC it says: 1-0 = 16 = 46% Draw = 34 0-1 = 21 = 54% 71 games in total when I filter the players by 2200. If I filter the player at 2500 its 8 games and 53/47 in whites favour. Quite normal. So its the Modern Benko (Flear) or the Perunovic variation here to stay according to the Megabase 2016, or what? I d hope so GG Started 12/26/15 at 21:51:02 by Gut Gambit |

Benko question against 1.d4 2.Nf3
So is there still a possibility to transpose into a benko after
1.d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c4 c5 4.d5 b5 or why is it said benko wouldn't be possible after 2.Nf3? Started 09/18/09 at 14:40:59 by battleangel (Ex Member) |

Any opinions on "The Benko Gambit: Move by Move"?
I have almost all books about the Benko and wonder if this one is a good addition, or more suited for starters with the Benko.
