I fell asleep.
im new, but after black opened the bishop for attacking the knight on c3, the queen protecting the knight, and the rook, why doesnt white just move its dark squared bishop to attack c3. Then after the capturing takes place, both sides lose a Q, and a B, and white loses a knight and the d5 pawn, but, it keeps both rooks, to blacks 1 R and 2 knights...? lost here, please help

i have a really silly question, if someone wants to play the benko gambit, he has to learn benoni first right??

"Tactics are the servants of Strategy" -- Some Chess "Nut-Job". Oh wait, that was former World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik! This weekend our own IM David Pruess tells a similar story, as he literally paints a picture of cohesive development, structural planning, and tactical foresight. This incredibly instructive video displays the tactical power your pieces possess when they work together towards a common goal... Enjoy!

At the age of twelve, David was lucky to be brought by his mother to a session of the Berkeley Chess School's Friday night kid's chess club, where he met NM Robert Haines, who showed him what chess was. Eighteen years later, he is still in love with the game. He has shared first in a few major tournaments, eg: American Open, North American Open, and Open Rohde (France), and played in several US Championships.
