Go Ben! I mean Benoni

@shadowfantasiesf8556 5 месяцев назад

I've watched almost all Benoni lessons on RU-vid and this one gave me a totally different perspective. Not focusing too much on the opening and instead showing how the middle games resolve makes me wanna master this. Very entertaining and also great games and stories.

@justsomeboyprobablydressed9579 5 месяцев назад

Great lecture! This is why I love chess. Games like these. I get more enjoyment out of watching Ben talk about great games than I get out of playing chess myself.

@jogzyg2036 5 месяцев назад

The benoni opening is on the d and c files. The benkenobi opening is single file, to hide their numbers.

And you have to say "Hello there!" before you start the game.

@beeble2003 5 месяцев назад

Great lecture from Neb Dlogenif. He looks like Ben Finegold but keeps suggesting f3 as a move, and doesn't say all the Ben things, like "always retreat", "no talking", "knife f4" (for Black), "put it in H", ...

@trowftd 5 месяцев назад

he didn't say Never Play f6 when black played f6 in the last game!

@David-tm9wr 5 месяцев назад

So many people dismiss Benoni as an unsound opening because super GMs don't play it. Ridiculous. It seems to me that it's one of those openings in which the better player wins. It's a fighting weapon that gives interesting positions for both sides, and if it was good enough for Fischer in his match against Spassky, it's good enough for me! I am glad that you are lecturing on it. 1.d4, c5 is the only true Chad move order too!

@luxtenebris7246 5 месяцев назад

I love the Benoni, but there is nothing worse than that feeling when you play it against a strong positional player and they just shut down all your play and you are stuck shuffling around in a cramped set up with no active plan that doesn't involve losing a lot of material.

@jasmint6703 5 месяцев назад

Two exciting Benoni games were played in the Grenke tournament, basically just as this video was released, in like the last two or three days, both with Carlsen with both colors. Clearly the world champ watches these lectures with fervor. Seriously check out the games if you get a chance. Carlsen-Rapport and Keymer-Carlsen.

@Steveross2851 5 месяцев назад

It’s interesting that all of the games in this lecture are over 40 years old with a current or future World Champion involved. The most recent “super Grandmaster” to play the Benoni seems to be Fabiano Caruana who played some games with it in 2016 and a few with it in 2020. It makes sense that it’s no longer seen much at the top level since there are so many more top level tournaments now but losing is also much more costly now in terms of risk of losing tournament invites. Because of its tactical nature it doesn’t seem to be a very practical opening to play unless one is paired down and even then as we saw in the featured Tal game it’s pretty risky. I don't play it myself, at least not unless I'm pretty confident I can outplay my opponent tactically.

@crclayton 5 месяцев назад

That pawn break to NOT take back but leave the pawn to leave it and blockade it so it obstructs black’s own pieces is a really inspired idea if he came up with it OTB.

@robbo1415 5 месяцев назад

This game was adjourned with Fischer sealing the final bishop check in an envelope. Spassky resigned next day after seeing the sealed move. The first victory over Spassky in Fischer’s career.

@issussov 9 дней назад

Fantastic presentation!

@Evilanious 5 месяцев назад

That third game is in line with my experience playing the Benoni (normally from the white side). The position is always completely over my head.

@WastrelWay 5 месяцев назад

I didn't learn the Benoni when I was learning to play chess. But it kept popping up in the games I learned. And there's nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, nothing worse than the Sicilian or the French. :-)

@ric1watts 5 месяцев назад

Korchnoi vs Kasparov, my favorite game of all-time ! Ben's analyses is very good, when I tried to look at it myself, I had no idea what was going on 😂

@Rubrickety 5 месяцев назад

I don't know if the Benoni is the best opening, but I think it might be the opening that's the most fun to say a bunch of times fast.

Little known rule: Always play c5 1. E4? C5 1. D4? C5 1. C4? C5

@timwheeler8523 5 месяцев назад

All good except against c4! Boring .... (Against e4 and d4, yes!)

@NichtWunderkind 5 месяцев назад

Against c4, Nc6 and then c5

@crclayton 5 месяцев назад

I do this… I premove c5. When I was lower rated my d4 opponents would routinely think it was an accident try, to their detriment, taking and holding onto it.

Looks like Nh5 is not played, mainly because it's not difficult to suggest improvements for white. After Qh4 for example, stockfish suggests (never play) f3 with a big advantage.
