ohhh that why not bg7 tho? i get the point of ba6 a little but it seems awkward
You attack the c4 pawn (obviously) but it’s not comfortable for white to defend that pawn. You don’t really wanna move your queen early, your knight can’t defend d5 from d2 and b3 (main line) forces white to develop his bishop from b2
i prefer something comfortable, playable and not so much theoretical but simple to know
Czech benoni

Ba6 is the modern move, because black usually plays d5, which locks in the bishop. On a6 it hits the c4 pawn and when black plays d5 in the future, it puts more pressure on it.

Can you give an example of an opening so I understand?
thats what i dont know, usually tho lets say for e4 i prefer caro with black but for d4 idk
What about moves like b6, e6 followed by f5 and then Nf6? I never tried it, so not sure how’s it going to work.
1.d4 b6 is not so good on account of 2.e4.
the problem why i dont use benoni is cause i feel like its weak and violates main patterns where i usually would have solid structures and be able to know where to develop my own pieces safely while being ok. in the benoni i feel like my pawns are weak, idk where to put the bishop, nor how to play for anything including b5 once they play a4 to prevent it. maybe show some examples or videos and i could consider but it just feels very awkward for me

I think it is hard to play it?

What if e6, followed by f5 (blocking e4) then comes b6?

Well, it is comfortable (to me), playable (definitely), not theoretical (mostly thematic), and I FEEL like it is simple to know

Well, then he would have to learn some French defense.

I’m on phone so I can’t but
d4 Nf6
c4 c5
d5 e5
Nc3 d6 (Bd6 is the czech snake)
e4 Be7 (g6, going into a KID-type setup, is also good)
i mean b6, e6 kind of transposes to a e4 opening so eh.... not rlly this topic tho
Definitely watch Gotham chess on the Albin countergambit against 1.d4!!!
i dont like albin much
