We look at a very aggressive chess defense for black today in the Benoni Defense. Against the very common opening from white of d4 a player must have multiple things that he can throw at white to give him a good chance to win. In this video we take a look at the Modern Benoni which is one of the more sound variations of the Benoni Defense and some of the key concepts you should look at while you are playing both as white and as black.

This is an effective defense against White!! Thanks!
i like ur works alot,
thanks for the feedback. glad you enjoyed.
after dxc5, black plays Qa5+, and then captures c5
I don’t really follow openings, just look at each opening and gain ideas from those.
Thank you, I enjoyed this video
does anyone know the winpercentage for this opening?
You’ve taught me the Caro-kann defence, and now you’re teaching me the benoni defence…shit, I owe you man.
But after you move your black bishop to g7 white can come to e5!What should I do next?
Question, I tend to open with the queens pawn, but then my opponent sets up for what looks like exactly the Owen’s Defense, except involving my queen’s pawn instead. Is there a name for this particular defense, or is it just a variation on Owen’s Defense, and if so, how do you best counter Owen’s defense?
what is the name of the song used at the intro?

Great video! What about the old Benoni Defense?
@Sheendude it’s coming
Are you talking about the queen’s indian defense?
Sometimes I play the benoni, but only through transposition from the nimzo-indian if my opponent plays 3. a3. I think it’s better for black that way because white loses a tempo and I think the pawn would rather be on a4 to stop black eventual queenside expansion. Then again, I’m sure the line is okay.
this looks cool thanks !!!
can u do one on the gruenfeld?
this is so great you’re doing this. Thank you.
In the main line, shouldn’t you do a6 before Bg7, preventing the lethal Bb5+ Bd7 e5! ?
Thanks!, the video is really useful
thanks for explaining why white doesn’t just capture the hanging pawn on c5…makes sense now that you explained it!
It is pretty useful to me, i have books but with video tutorial it is much more easier. thanks.
awsome!!!
can u please play out the game. i know u only get 10 minutes. how about less talk.
