The difference between this and the benko gambit, I am no expert, but this is what it looks like, is that in the benko gambit, the pawn can be taken instantly.

However in the blumenfeld the white d-pawn must take the black e-poawn firt, this gives black a chance to get large ocental control afterr the below continuation.
