Hello!
I used to play the Modern Benoni as Black but the MML is really a problem (although I should say it is only a problem in home analysis since no opponent has yet played it against me, but t...

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?

I have not seen the move in any games, but I think it has a lot of merit.
