I strongly agree with MnB to try The Kasparov Gambit after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5!?

This gives Black a very useful initiative, and is hardly even a permanent gambit as the pawn can be rounded up later usually. It remains a mystery to me why this line is not more popular for Black.



Yeah this line looks ok, but recently i don't have any materials about it. My only 'big book' about english is old german Bagirov publication.

I couldn't recall ever having seen 5. Nb5 there; it turns out that it was once played by Kortchnoi, but is supposed to be dubious after 5...d5.

Against 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3, I usually play 3...cd4 4. Nd4 e6 followed by Bb4 and I like this kind of Nimzo-Indian position with White having already taken in d4 with the knight.


What about 5.Nb5 right now, trying to play e4 in next move. It's look like hedgehog setup :|

But I have to admit that at least 90% of the anti-Benko lines I face is
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.c3 which is another debate Smiley

Well... Can You recommend me one? Wink




Symmetrical English by Carsten Hansen has a good section on A31 (Vaganian/Kasparov Gambit).



Thank You. I'll check this book...

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 used to play Dzindzi recommendation on english, but it's imposible with Nf6 move-order.

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.e3 cxd4 4.exd4 d5 play transposes to the Caro-Kann Panov Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6). Again there is a wide choice of sources.


Yess!
And I'm also caro player. I just forgot this transposition! Smiley

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

How to play against 'anti-benko lines'

Hi!
Im new benko player.
I have a problem with certain anti benko lines :
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.e3

Second one is in Dzindzi repertoire book, but i don't like his suggestions.
What about first line? This can transpose to english...
In 'Dealing with d4 deviations' John Cox show how to play with anti-benoni lines, but nothing about benko Sad
Can someone reccomend me good source about how to fight anti-benko?

Regards.
M.
