This setup for black is awesome! Completely turning down all the theoretical lines and instead going for a tricky little move a6 preparing b5, and a clear Benko Gambit plan for black that completely flips white's board. Thanks for bringing this secret system to the public! Happy Checkmating!

12. 03 Which is the best way to proceed if White, rather strangely perhaps, accepts the first pawn offered on c5 in the Benko gambit. Is the primary idea then to use the weakness created on the a1-h8 diagonal and fianchetto the black square Bishop; or would one rather strike back in the centre with something like e5 and threaten to take the pawn back right away with the same Bishop? Or is even better to just go on developing the Knight to c6. Grateful for a response.

great Video! it was nice too watch;-) i mean, the Benko is an interesting opening no question. but u have missed that most people play ne2 and only play d5 after nc6 is played and keep the tension till then. but I also like your Version of the f3 line in the Benko. actually the Knight from b1 goes via a3 to c4 and the Knight from g1 to c3. but with the system u mentioned, white has the option to play ne2-c1-b3 , Chase the Queen away and playing for nd2 to c4 . but what would you recommend, when White players refuse to give up the the tension with d5? anyway, the Position remains slightly better for White. I would recommend the c5 line or the panno Variation. As a chessplayer, u shouldnt avoid mainlines and theory. try to give your best and not Focus too much on sidelines :) only on that way, u are going to improve and keep building your knowledge. Cheers :)

KISS - King Indian Saemisch System - lines without Bc1-g5 and after e7-e5 Black's best move regardless of White's castling is Nh5 as part of the plan f7-f5 and Nb8-d7-f6; Black focuses on the centre! c7-c5 remains optional depending on White's handling. E84 KISS: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 0-0 6.Be3 Nc6 7.Nge2 a6 8.Qd2 Rb8 9.Nc1 e5 10.d5 Nd4 11.N1e2 Ne2 12.Be2 Nh5 13.g4? (White dreads castling on either side) 13......Nf4 14.Bf4 ef 15.Qf4 Be5 16.Qe3 Qh4 17.Qf2 (17.Kd1 b5) 17......Qf6 18.Qe3 Bd4 19.Qd3 b7-b5 and Black runs the show; E87 KISS: 6.Be3 e5 7.d5 Nh5 8.Nge2 f5 9.Qd2 Nd7 10.Nc1 (10.0-0-0) 10......Ndf6 11.Nd3 fe 12.Ne4 Ne4 13.fe c5! OR 11.Bd3 fe 12.Ne4 Ne4 13.Be4 Nf6! 14.Bc2 e4!; instead of 11.Nd3 fe Black can also continue with 11......c5 12.Be2 fe 13.Ne4 Ne4 14.fe Nf4 and White achieved little to nothing at all!

I love the video. As White I faced this idea once and without any book knowledge I played similarly to White though I don't recall for sure if the KN went to e2 or h3-f2. We both thought I was lost but Fritz showed otherwise, but very hard over the board. I like this "Benko Delayed," though I do not know its theoretical value in practice it should work well for Black

A few things I would add after investigating this approach myself: - 8.Nge2 b5!? and 8.0-0-0 b5!? are interesting gambits that would complement this approach. - After 8.Nh3 c5, keeping the tension with 9.Nf2 or 9.Be2 is overwhelmingly favored by modern GMs. (Perhaps this is a testament to the strength of 9.d5 b5!.) In these cases, Black should probably steer for a good Maroczy Bind structure with 9...cxd4 10.Bxd4 Ne5 =, as lines like 9.Nf2 Qa5 10.dxc5! +/= do not seem pleasant for Black. - Black should also be prepared for the tricky 8.Rd1!?, when perhaps 8...e5 is best. Now a more standard KID approach is justified as the rook move will likely represent a loss of time and White is lagging in his kingside development.
@happyhornet10005 жыл бұрын
Love your videos, entertaining as well as informative. c6, a6, then b5 is perhaps a better way to play against the Saemisch though. The trouble with the line in this video is you give up a pawn and need perfect play to justify the lost pawn. If you plat against strong players and players that understand the Saemisch most black players will struggle. Like all gambits, giving up a pawn is a risk and once the initiative is gone you are just a pawn down! c6, a6 (or a6, c6), then b5 is risk free and usually good for black.

The Samisch is a bad bad choice for White. I once adopted it against the KID but I lost too much games against the simple a6, Nbd7, c6 setup followed by b5. And this is also even more dangerous and easier for Black than the Benko like setup suggested by this video.

Nice video, I like your enthusiasm. I too am a KID player as Black but unfortunately the a6 line you presented against the Saemisch is not all that it's cracked up to be, and in fact if White has done his homework Black is very close to losing by force. The key line is the very one you dismissed in your video, but you can be forgiven for that as the critical line has hardly been tested in practice yet and it goes as follows: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 0-0 6.Be3 a6 7.Qd2 Nbd7 8.0-0-0! b5 9.e5! Ne8 10.h4! A careful analysis of this position will reveal that Black is in big trouble.

I would like to suggest that a good approach for Black is: 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 d6!? After this Black is threatening e5 and the natural way to prevent that is Nf3 but then of course White can't enter the Saemisch. The Benko.... I played and studied it for a while but there are multiple variations for White to grab both pawns, end up with an extra pawn and he can usually hold on to it, although I will concede that White is defensive for a while before he starts pushing his Rook pawn with a4, a5, a6, a7 etc!
