ICC Blitz Chess – Benoni Defense
Posted on December 28, 2011 by William in All Articles w/ Videos, Blitz/Bullet Chess
White opens with d4 and I decided to respond with the Benoni Defense. This game exemplifies many of the most important concepts in the Benoni Defense, as white gains a slight space and positional advantage in the opening and black must rapidly fight hard for activity. I decided to employ a plan that I had seen in a few of Bobby Fischer’s games, involving 13. …g5!? and 14. …Ne5 – trying to establish a bind […]

Posted on December 26, 2011 by William in General Chess Articles
ChessAnyTime.com is one of the few chess websites that does just about everything: chess videos, news, analysis, and a popular chess playing server. GM Simon Williams handles the majority of content production at ChessAnyTime.com, and has a true knack for publishing clear and engaging videos on extremely complicated openings. I particularly enjoyed Williams’ series on the Dragon, the Dutch, and the Dragadorf (an interesting hybrid system that combines ideas from the Dragon and the Najdorf). […]
