I like Pal Benko but what exactly are you asking about? I have a database of his games.

If you are interested in his Endgame studies his column is carried each month in " Chess Life " from the USCF.

I was playing in the US Open in Omaha in 1959.  I had a poor position but sacked a knight leaving me with a lone king and my opponent with king and bishop and rook Pawn and his bishop was of the wrong color.

 

Apparently Paul Benko was watching to see if I would make the sac. He was delighted after I made the sac and told the other player the game is a draw now.

I was actually able to resort to that resource twice within the space of a few games! (my last year in the USCF).

Pal Benko's book "My Life, Games and Compositions" is very intersting.
