Modern Benoni with Bf4 This line is recommended by Richard Palliser in "Play 1.d4!" and is very difficult to face. To see how he fares when faced with his own recommendations, here is a recent game with Richard playing Bla...

Bf4 line According to IM Richard Palliser, he recommends Bf4 in his book, Play d4!. But, I'm concerned about Nh5/f5 ideas for black that seems to put a damper on the Bf4 line.

Palliser's Benoni Recommendation I have trouble with Palliser’s recommendations for Benoni. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Bf4 g6 7.Qa4+ Bd7 8.e4 b5 he rightly warns against taking the pawn. After losing a coup...
