Till now I have a very good record with f3 against the Benko but since the book "DW Benoni and Benko" is out, I can see that more people are starting to play c4 with black and it is not easy to counter (but that's on the internet).
In "serious" games, I never have had to do with the Queen sacrifice or the "DW-variation".
My impression is that many black players are not enough prepared to encouter the Dlugy variation. Perhaps because it is not so modious any more?
  

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.
