Thanks for the suggestion. I saw the site, but the down-loadable file is just an index of the magazine's contents. They stopped publishing in 2010. Several days ago I sent an email to the address listed on the site, but no response yet.

Thanks, that site looks very promising. The article I seek is about the Dutch Benoni defense. Probably unsound, but these strange openings fascinate me.
Clarendon Court Defense?
Yes, that strange opening (AKA the Benograd defense), which is widely condemned as "positionally unsound", yet is recommended as "playable" by an expert friend of mine. Don't know if I want to use it often, but I find it intriguing enough to explore. I even came up with a new (I think) opening for white: the Dutch Benoni Reversed, 1.f4 d5 2.c4!? (well, maybe it's just an obscure variation of Bird's opening)
That is a playable idea, we just did a tourney with it not too long ago. I think the early c4 is highly neglected in a lot of Bird thought, personally.
It is called the Sturm Gambit, or the Mujannah Variation, based on extremely old chess thought.
I believe that Dzindzi advocated the immediate e4!? against the Benograd, as you wanted to call it.

I thought you'd know about it. And it's a little too late to name 1.f4 d5 2.c4 after myself
I'm not partial to the name "Benograd". I also call it by its other 2 names, the Clarendon Court Defense (I have Jonathan Levitt's DVD) and the Dutch Benoni. Maybe the name "Benograd" is of Russian origin?
I agree that "Benograd" must be a hybrid name, as you described. I have a paper copy of an old article mentioning that name, but the source web site is defunct. Here is a chess.com thread mentioning "Benograd" and whence it came. See post #6.

Honestly, if you are searching to a line to name after yourself, find a decent move in the 2. c4 complex that is not named after anyone. Since it is so rarely played, there are lines there that you can explore. But to be real, you have so many options. I did a pretty neat opening experiment with that line, involving an open approach:

Yes, I saw that. I take what pfren says seriously. While we're discussing this family of openings, let's include the Balogh Counter Gambit for black: 1.e4 d6 2.d4 f5 (or the Staunton Gambit 1.d4 f5 2.e4, then 2...d6).

I sent off for the magazine about a month ago, paid with PayPal. The magazine has not arrived yet. Will try to contact someone there.
If anyone has a copy, I'm still very interested. Even for a PDF scan of the few relevant pages.
Try messaging Buecker on chesspub. Sucks about the link...
Thanks, will try. Maybe something went wrong with their shopping cart page.
I'm trying to track down an article in the German-language chess magazine Kaissiber. Specifically, the article is in issue 25. I would be willing to pay for the magazine or a photocopy.
