White wants to dictate the course of the game after 1.d4, and that’s okay, we would all like to be in control, but do we allow the opponent to run us over just like that? Do we fight back?
Of course we do!
Surprise and catch your opponent off-guard with the rare and aggressive Czech Benoni for Black!
You will find the unique traits of this opening quite entertaining:
✅ Get your opponent out of the comfort zone after 1.d4 c5 2.d5 e5!
✅ Close-up the position and prepare a King’s Indian type of attack;
✅Build-up a massive attack from the trenches and unleash it upon the opponent!
✅Focus on exchanging the most passive piece – the dark-squared bishop with Be7-Bg5;
✅ Execute the main pawn push f7-f5 and put pressure on White’s center;
✅ Throw everything you have against the White king and deliver checkmate!
✅ A big surprise value as it’s much rarer in comparison to other variations such as the King’s Indian, Queen’s Gambit lines, or the Nimzo;
✅ After 1.d4 c5, the sidelines are timid and don’t pose much of a challenge to Black, while your opponent may expect a regular Benoni, they are in for a rude awakening!
✅ This opening is played on understanding, so no worries if you forget some theory, by knowing the ideas in the position, you will be able to navigate it easily.
