this isn't the best quality ever but there was lots of play and counter play, we hardley even got out of the opening and it was all done... hope u enjoy

 

i enjoyed this one and found it extremely entertaining we both had opportunities nearly everything was on the queen side as is the way with benko's...i think the way it ended was just a blunder but up til then everything was fun

although at the end black can't castle anymore and it won't be a free piece just an exchange after queen takes knght

I wanted to step through it just for my own education.  Ultimately, it looks like Black was better off doing what it did at 13.

I don't think blacks position holds much hope regardless of whether the queens come of or any other line if he takes that bishop because after d6 his knight and bishop struggle to get out and ablout
