I actually think Smyslov Fan pointed out this ...Nxd5 move in another thread.  I might be remembering incorrectly but I think this has been discussed here before.

Avrukh's Benko Line neutralized?

Just got back from the recently-concluded Chicago Open. One of the games caught me eye. Since Monroi doesn't seem to be compatible with Internet Explorer anymore, here's the game from memory:

[Event "Chicago Open"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2011.05.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Amanov, Mesgen"]
[Black "Arnold, Marc"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[PlyCount "52"]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 b5 4. cxb5 a6 5. bxa6 g6 6. Nc3 Bxa6 7. g3 d6 8. Bg2
Bg7 9. Nf3 Nbd7 10. Rb1 Nb6 11. b3 Bc8 12. Nh4 h6 13. Qc2 Qd7 14. Bb2 g5 15.
Nf3 Qf5 16. e4 Qg6 17. O-O O-O 18. Rfc1 Nfxd5 19. exd5 Bf5 20. Qd1 Bxb1 21.
Rxb1 Bxc3 22. Bxc3 Rxa2 23. Rc1 Qf5 24. Be1 Rfa8 25. h4 Qf6 26. Bc3 Qf5 1/2-1/2

18.Rfc1 was the move recommended by Boris and there is no mention of 18...Nfxd5 in the book. Didn't seem to be preparation on IM Marc Arnold's part as both players used up alot of time.
