I've played the Modern Benoni as Black since my youth thanks to Bobby Fischer favoring it all those years ago.

 

But I've never played it as White, and now thanks to the Modern Benoni tournament, for the first time I'm trying out those fearsome anti-Benoni attacks from the other side of the board!

 

Here's a game just finished from the tournament where Black was a little greedy ... with quick and painful consequences
