Igor thank you for your hard work. You’re my favorite coach. Please make a video on the Benoni

Very well explained, thanks.

Hi Igor, Can you make a video on the Reti gambit and The Semi-Slav. Thank you

Imma tell you guys. Old Benoni with immediate c5 is better because you don't need to learn trompowsky or anti-londons yet you still have the same traps. You can have pleasant position OR go to the benko gambit OR blumenfeld countergambit

Thanks for another great video Igor! You seem like the nicest and humble man around, wish you all the best my freind🙂

Very cool. Thank you!!

Nice video no one will ever play d4 again after they see this video

I really like your lesson Igor...👍🙏

1:56 they always play Nc3, so continuation is axb5

a2-a4 is the Benko killer, creating a dangerous passed pawn and preserving Nc3 or Be2 to b5 options.

Igor you’re my fav

15:55 Re2 is the best move according to SF. In fact, the only move to not lose. Give back the material to escape death.

I was going to say that this is the Benko gambit, but then you mention it.

Please video about how to analyse in chess
