Benoni Defense

ai generated text

The Benoni Defense is a chess opening characterized by the move ...c5 against White's 1.d4. It has several variations, including the Old Benoni, Czech Benoni, and Benko Gambit. The Old Benoni, which starts with 1.d4 c5, is the original form of the Benoni but has never been seriously considered at high-level play. The Czech Benoni, with 3...e5, is more solid and passive, but Black aims to break with ...b7–b5 or ...f7–f5 after preparation, while White gains space on the kingside. The Benko Gambit, with 3...b5, is a popular pawn sacrifice that offers Black counterplay but may lead to White's advantage in some lines.learn more on wikipedia
