New Benko Gambit book by Jan Pinski I heard that in the middle of July a new book on the Benko gambit by Jan Pinski will be published. Does anyone have more information on that? Started 06/19/05 at 19:30:25 by FightingDragon	0	1689	06/19/05 at 19:30:24 By: FightingDragon
Benko Dlugy Variation 5. f3?! 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 b5 4. axb6 a6 5. f3?! So I only just heard of this... the idea is simple white wants to play e4. But really the positions that arise seem wicked from the games i've looke... Started 03/12/09 at 04:30:42 by trw	1	2404	03/12/09 at 05:04:44 By: Matemax
Benko Accepted: Status of 7.e4 When I switched from (1.d4 Nf6) 2.Nf3 to 2.c4 I had a short look at the 7.e4-variation of the Benko Accepted (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.cxb5 a6 5.bxa6 g6 6.Nc3 Bxa6 7.e4 and play usually reaches the ...

Anyone know this white exc.sacrifice in the Benko? Some time ago I stumbled over a game in which white in the Benko played an early h4 – h5 followed by exc.sacrifice by the Rook. I cannot find the game again or other games with this but the opening co... Started 03/02/11 at 15:53:18 by Larsen_fan	9	5891	03/04/11 at 22:13:11 By: TalJechin
Advantage Against Benko I've looked at the Benko ad nauseum for the last few weeks and I can't find a meaningful advantage in either the fianchetto lines (with 10. Rb1 or 0-0) or the e4 line with castle by hand. Black always... Started 04/19/08 at 19:14:43 by exigentsky	4	3607	04/21/08 at 08:39:41 By: ANDREW BRETT

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...

Benko & YearBook 76 Hi, I have noticed the Benko fianchetto line being adressed in the Forum of YB76. I lack the necessary knowledge to see if the line given is relevant and solves black problems or is just a minor ...

Ramirez's Benko DVD Anybody has got it? Comments? Is it a repertoire? Possible to have an idea of the suggested lines? Started 03/12/13 at 01:43:14 by Chess_Addict	8	12215	08/06/13 at 19:15:31 By: Benoniac
Andrew Martin's Benko DVD I am curious if anyone has seen this Benko DVD. Is it very basic or does Martin offer interesting new ideas?

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	6448	06/10/14 at 11:13:14 By: PANFR
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	12548	06/21/16 at 17:47:41 By: TN

Rare lines for White in the Benko Searching for a low-theory line against the Benko as White, I ran into the following two very rare variations (against black´s main answers in move 5): 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.cxb5 a6 5....

Benko Do you think the Benko is still a good option for Black players seeking a dynamic defence to 1.d4? It seems it is under pressure not just in the 10. Rb1 in the fianchetto line (although Flear seems to... Started 04/06/04 at 21:16:54 by Grant (Guest)	14	7834	04/04/05 at 23:28:08 By: HgMan
0-0-0 in Benko-gambit Hi, what do you think of my idea 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 b5 4 cxb5 a6 5 bxa6 Bxa6 6 g3 Nbd7 7 Bg2 Qb6 8 0-0 0-0-0!

benko is boring nowadays I have played benko 28 years. In the good old days people took the pawn and I was winning almost every game. Many players avoided it against me and played e.g. 2.Nf3.
