4. .....g6 may be most Benko-like, but I like the idea of hitting the White centre right away with e6.




Edited 1X: Content.
  

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.

I might have been wrong in my answer
If you really mean: 1.d4-Nf6 2.c4-c5 3.d5-b5 4.f3 then black can just take on c4 and is certainly not worse

In fact I gave an answer about the Dlugy variation where white delays f3 to the fifth move: 1.d4-Nf6 2.c4-c5 3.d5-b5 4.cb5-a6 5.f3
  

Yusupov once said that “The problem with the Dutch Defence is that later in many positions the best move would be ...f5-f7” but he is surely wrong.

Starting Out: Benoni Systems written by Chetverik and Raetsky gives an answer to this question.
The Benkö revealed has also some pages about this thema.
In both books, you'll get a variation where black should offer his Queen round move 15. It stops white's attack and gives black very dangerous counterplay (the white king becomes exposed and white pieces are badly coordinated). White has some improvements but the position remains highly unclear.

Hi, it goes like this: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.f3!!??
Does anyone know a good way for black to meet this?
I think Dunnington recommends it in "attacking with 1.d4"   
So, far I haven't been able to find any books on it besides that.(Amazingly I had a look at Pinskis book and there was no mention of it)
Any suggestions would be helpful. Cool
