Could really use your thoughts. I decided to try an oppening I had never used before and I got creamed.

 

The thought behind the Benko opening is to sacrifice a pawn for open files on the queen side and go to work with the heavy artillery. Didn't work so well.

 

My only thought was that I should have pushed the c pawn faster and my rooks were definitely on the wrong file.

 

Help, please!!
