Is there still hope in the King Walk variation ?
Hi Benko lovers,
my understanding is that the two following variations are difficult to handle for black at the moment:
- 5.e3
- 12.a4 in the King Walk
My hope is that the followin...

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...

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...

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.

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

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?
