Best resource for the Benko Hi! I have played the Benko for years, but I have never had any formal DVD/book on it (I have jsut watched some Ramirez videos on YouTube).

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	12	4256	04/07/21 at 13:15:53 By: an ordinary chessplayer
Survey by Karolyi in New in Chess Yearbook 136 In New in Chess Yearbook 135 there is a survey bij Karolyi on the Perunovic Benko. In Yearbook 136 he "addresses the ramifications of the main line 8.Nf3". Can anybody tell me if, after 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.e4... Started 10/02/20 at 08:16:36 by TD	5	2169	10/03/20 at 17:37:13 By: TD
Critical lines against the Benko Hey, with Black, I very much like to play the Benko Gambit, but currently struggle to find satisfying lines against some critical moves.

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?

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. Started 10/04/16 at 04:39:37 by Marcellus « Pages 1 2 all »	26	25991	06/16/18 at 14:48:25 By: Lauri Torni
Does 12.a4/Qe2 put the Benko out of business? Some of you will recall that the line 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.cxb5 a6 5.bxa6 g6 6.Nc3 Bxa6 7.e4 Bxf1 8.Kxf1 d6 9.g3 Bg7 10.Kg2 0-0 11.Nf3 Nbd7 12.a4 was recommended by Kaufman in 'The Kaufman Reper...

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	10	11765	06/21/16 at 17:47:41 By: TN

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)	12	12795	09/26/14 at 09:10:25 By: Lauri Torni
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. Started 05/07/14 at 10:26:22 by TD	3	6076	06/10/14 at 11:13:14 By: PANFR
