hedgehog fifth row dominance
Recommend a defense against 1. d4?
Sort:
d4 e6 c4 Ab4+ Ad2 a5 Axb4 axb4 Cf3 f5 is a good system, but modern benoni is good tactical defense!
Benoni is good if you are not afraid to sacrifice the pawn.
There are some players that were not comfortable with sacrificing the pawns like I am. I know that sacrificing pawns to gain compensation is good but yet I'm not happy with down a pawn.
You can still play the French against d4
i suggest the modern benoni
I fourth it. The only time I don't play the Tarrasch is when I try to throw them off balance. Then I play the Old Benoni; 1. d4 c5. Speaking of mental edge ;)
