Apparently there's a volume 2, covering everything but the Benko. I actually kind of like this idea - one of the biggest annoyances in picking up the Benko Gambit for me is that it's just not as easy to weave a complete repertoire around it - everything but exactly 1.d4, 2.c4, and 3.d5 requires extra work and investigation. 

The Double-Fianchetto Hedgehog is an interesting choice too.

There are two things you dont get from this dvd:

1.c4 with 2.g3 to follow ( à la Kosten) He mentions it, but says it outside the scope of the dvd. 

And I didnt find that the calm Retì was covered; the double fianchetto with the pawn back on d2, and Nc3, e3 and Qe2 and so on from white. 

Overall I think its a nice dvd though, with active suggestions for black.

I think that It's good DVD but with some missing variation (maybe this is regular because It's a DVD and not a book...).
Against the Trompowsky (very good coverge!!): he recommends Ne4 with d5&c5
Veresov: c6 Lines 
d4 Nf6 Nf3 c5 d5 b5
d4 Nf6 c4 c5 Nf3 cxd4 Nxd4 e5 (or b6)
and against 1.Nf3 he reccomends the double fianchetto system.

Can somebody give their opinion about this second DVD? Maybe some lines?

They should have included a video about 12 a4 which is missed in the first DVD. But apparently that´s not the case. The title is a bit misleading even if the "spirit" of the Benko influenced the choice of lines.

But the DVD is certainly interesting for someone trying to build a repertoire solely around the Benko.

I` ve got it for some time. But didnt have the time to watch it all. But from what I`ve seen it seems  pretty good. So if you not got it already I can get back to you more spesific on the suggested repertoarie.



Ben



I bought it and watched it all, very interesting!
Thx

Anybody has got it? Comments? Is it a repertoire? Possible to have an idea of the suggested lines?
