Any Good Books on the Czech Benoni

Can someone please explain to me the idea behind the Budapest. I never understood it. For me, Gambits are trippy openings meant to psychologically attack your opponent, as well as trade some material for rapid development. The Budapest accomplishes neither, being more of a joke opening to me, and actually slows development for no reason.

When you can back up your claim that the Budapest hinders blacks development I’ll walk on my head

Sure. Black f***s up whites pawn structure

It’s the same idea behind the black knights tango

but accelerated 

Walk on your head

White has developed all his minor pieces and Black still has to move the Bishop. Not to mention White pretty much controls e4, d5, and c4 indefinitely, and Black still will have to fight for e5 and d4.

I take that back. e5 and d4 are under Black control

Why do I have to be cooperative and take the e pawn when I can play h5

Bf4 is also an inaccuracy, f4 is better.

Here’s an instructive Alekhine attack against @rukja

i score poorly against him btw, and there aren’t annotations because I’m on mobile. I have 95 accuracy, he has 94.

Here's a more accurate line

White has the Bishop pair, and already has advanced pawns. His pieces are developed, and the positioning of the pieces is good.

Double isolated c pawns. This isn’t anywhere close to testing as the Alekhine attack, e4 is an ok move and black isn’t obliged to take immediately.

I take that back. I'm never going to win against a 1900 on the subject of openings, so I surrender. The Budapest Gambit isn't bad, maybe for you, but I think it's garbage, because everyone at my level who plays it gets chomped like spaghetti

The Budapest IS bad. With this line it's easy to beat

edit: BTW The Benko Gambit is better than Czech 

See, I don't like the Benoni as an opening, however I do like the concept. It offers Sicilian e6 variations if you don't capture. On that same concept, I (personally) think the Benko is terrible. I tried it on Chess.com and against a few of my slightly lower-rated friends. It failed miserably every time. They decimate your Queenside, and they can castle Queenside. You don't hinder their development, nor do you progress your own. The only reason I think it is better than the Budapest is because your King isn't exposed.

Also Meran is good:

That's why I don't like the modern-Taimanov Attack is annoying 

this is completely bad for black, since he probably has a 0 accuracy after f6. Ne4? works if white doesn't fianchetto, but judging by your line it isn't even the correct idea. After 12.Bg2 black plays Bg4! 13.O-O Rae8 14.Rad1 b6 with approximate equality.

lol. they should git gud

I can’t think of any Czech Benoni books. I have a feeling there’s a reason for that...

yup. I guess I'll be getting the one in the first post...
