Alt-Benoni-Verteidigung
If you have "Alt-Benoni-Verteidigung" by Stoljar & Kondratjew can you maybe give your opinion about it and an index of variations?

That might be that for the Clarendon Court
Hi All
I've had a soft spot for the Clarendon Court lately (1. d4 c5 2. d5 f5), and I've been doing a little home analysis on it. A lot of posts I've seen around here seem to indicate that the sc... Started 07/29/15 at 02:02:10 by cramie10 |

Czech Benoni: key lines and move-order subtleties
I'm trying to improve my knowledge of the Czech Benoni, which is proving fascinating. As usual, I don't think the key lines/ideas are always delineated particularly logically in the literature -- you ...

I've been playing the Budapest for 30+ years, particularly since seeing IM Walter Shipman employ it at NYC's Chess Center against GM competition in 1981-82. But now I'm looking for some variety (just...

Czech + Closed (Old) OR Schmid Benoni?

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3
What should Black do here? I find it difficult to summon up enthusiasm for playing this line after 4...exd5 5.Nxd5
