On one hand, the Classical Benoni cannot be mistaken for a K-pawn opening, the strategies are typically different and there are plenty of positional nuances that makes the Benoni very different than a K-pawn opening, even if the position is closed. But, for beginners and sometimes even for very advanced players, it can be helpful to play a position according to how you perceive the position. So, for example in this situation if you're a fairly accomplished double K-pawn player but somehow find yourself in a Benoni, then it can be useful to note similarities between the position on the board and what you know, and try to play according to what you're familiar with. The thing to understand though, is that when a position is fully locked and not just closed like many full/classical Benonis, the chances of a hidden combination is typically low most of the time. Both players should then concentrate on positional maneuvering and long range planning. In that way, it's less important what you call the opening and more important that you just play the position.
Thanks for this video. I have been playing d4 for as long as I play chess, which is now 55 yeard. I have never had Nc6 as second move. So this sure is some obscure opening. But also: it sure looks good for black.
Sorry, one criticism, the mouse moving about all the time put me off, so I couldn't watch much of the video. There were two other videos of yours that I have seen recently that were instructional and entertaining (no mouse cursor circling).
Hi, thank you for your concern, but u know, people don't come to watch long videos on RU-vid which is why I try to be as quick as I can. I suggest that you use the playback speed option on RU-vid and slow it down to your liking 💟
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 Nc6 3.Nc3 e5 4.d5 Ne7 5.e4 Ng6 what do you play if White goes 6.a3 then the ...Bb4 plan is prevented and 6...Bc5 (6.... a5 7.Be3) walks into 7.b4 Bd4 8.Nge2 then ...if 8... Nxe4 9.Nxe4 Bxa1 10.h4 and even if the Bishop somehow escapes, Whites has big initiative.
Excellent chess tutorial and analysis! "Push pawn and think later?" ha ha! I like that so much, coz thats what i usually do, push your piece and think later, esp when you only have less than a minute to play. well, you have a very good and interesting video post, no irritating background music, honest brilliant analysis and system, keep it up! and THANK YOU SO MUCH!
is it transposing into an e4 opening or a c4 opening? because I there are few c4 opening games that get to this or similar positions. I am interested to know more about it as it does have an element of surprise depending on the opponent's level
In the same way the Ruy Lopez is also known as the Spanish Opening, the Mexican Defense is aka the Two Knights Tango. There are many openings that have more than one name.

So many problems with this whole idea… In order to not play into 1.d4, you are suggesting a transposition into a defense that is far from common & solid against 1.e4 in itself. Also, the transposition itself doesn’t even work: white most often does NOT push c4 against the Nimzowitsch Defense. There’s a huge difference here… if you think pushing c4 and not pushing c4 yields the same result, then it’s just like pretending the Pirc is the same as the KID, which is completely wrong.
Thanks captain obvious.. This comment makes no sense. Everyone knows chess is not solved. The spirit of videos like these is not to showcase irrefutable openings, which should be plain obvious.
