Attacking the modern benoni

Sort:
TheIndianAttacker

Hey guys, so here is a game I played on the white side of the modern benoni. I played my favorite system which consists of playing an early Bf4, and can really place a lot of pressure on black if he doesn't know how to react. I'm pretty sure this line for recommended for white in the Kaufman Repertore, and is also a consistant weapon of GM Sam Shankland. So here is a quick blitz game that shows potential in the line, even though i was somewhat worse near the end but thats more like our blitz mistakes. 

Yep, typical blitz game mistakes and regular mistakes by both of us, but i felt like i came out better out of the opening, maybe because he played a slightly passive line. Anyway, what do you guys think of the opening for white, and the game? How could I improve on some of the mistakes i made? Thanks

Great game, what time control was this?

The game was played at 5 0( i think), and pfren instead of 14. Qc2 in your line above, the computer gives an advantage to white after 14. Nde4, but yeah 11. Be2 was probably inaccurate. I personally love this whole line as white, it fits my playing style pretty well, its a more positional line with a some bite to it.
