There's nothing like u refuted it....this is called the king walk variation which is great for white but i think black and defend because once u turn off the engine and play on ur own, u will lose ur advantage
white has a super easy time here
I don’t know about the Benko, but it’s a very highly respected and played opening. I don’t think it can be refuted or anything of the sort otherwise I think this would become common knowledge
This line is known since ages, and while it is unpleasant for Black (because he is only playing for the draw) it's quite OK, and far from refuting anything.
There are a couple of other other Benko lines which are more testing.

theres no rule that says the winning player will lose their advantage.....for all u know black could also blunder.....so if white is better he will win more.....besides it is harder for black to defend......and it is well known that the defender has a harder time to play
you realise how annoying it is to read your style of posting
it honestly sounds like rambling
In the original position shown, White's a-pawn is a permanent liability, because the b-pawn can never reach b4 to support the a-pawn's advance (due to black's c5 pawn).
This means that the a and b pawns should never be able to advance safely (if Black plays well), nor can the pawns connect past the 4th rank. Black is able to apply permanent pressure from the front of the pawns, and/or blockade.
Black is technically down a pawn, but White's queenside pawns are effectively crippled, so it balances out.
And White's passed pawn is (unfortunately for White) on the a-file, which is the most drawish of files for a passed pawn to be on, especially since White has no light-square bishop to hit the a8 square.
You can’t trash talk the ultimate trash talker smh 🤦♂️
Compliment to you fr

oh i forgot that oops

theres no rule that says the winning player will lose their advantage.....
disprove this
for all u know black could also blunder.....
this is just true, both players blunder equally
so if white is better he will win more.....
same here
besides it is harder for black to defend......
it is harder to play the defending sides and this is a well agreed truth (see next sentence)
and it is well known that the defender has a harder time to play

Lol it's annoying as much i as i am annoyed by ur italics 😂😂....and regarding the advantage part,i want to ask u these simple questions, do u know what is refutation?
something where a player is objectively winning, and the opponent cant avoid it, because their opening is refuted
Do u know how hard chess it?
yes? it is
Do u know how hard is it to convert an advantage on the board?
thats why anti-not resigning threads are sorta too much lol
Ask these questions to yourself and u will understand why u are wrong ( or u might not if u are a dumb***)
asked them to myself
i dont understand
i never said this is a refutation
i just said that when someone is better, its not that they will lose their advantage
i proved one of your statements wrong
stop putting stuff in my mouth
read #16 now and disprove my statement instead of putting things in my mouth
Little hard to read ngl
yeah
my point: trashtalker implied i said it was a refutation
i didnt
so "i am wrong" is not a conclusion to be made
unless trashtalker somehow says that the defender is far easier to play than the attacker, which would make all gambiteers sweat
or leave now and understand that we are talking about different things
I was replying to OP about how it's not an refutation
aah make that mistake a lot
and still no u didn't prove me any wrong
ok...
because i am talking about converting the advantage
which is hard
no harder than defending +1 positions where its objectively a draw
...even IMs and other titled players are unable to convert+2 advantages ( even super GMs in world champion although i admit they are under pressure)
yes
it's another thing knowing that u are better and it's another thing to convert that advantage....i have been there myself where i am +2 after move 10 but still manage to throw it and draw/lose the game
agreed.... but then take a position, its +1, objectively drawable, and draw it
how hard is that? probably harder than winning the +1
its harder to play a +1 as the worse side than the better side, because one mistake and you are lost when the other way one mistake and its "only" 0.00
youre not saying that in +1 positions, as a whole, the worse side makes less mistakes, are you
if not, my argument works

oh wait whoda thunk you were literally replying to me
in no world is this comment directed to op
ok
many lines in the benko are very unclear on whos better: for example this position
but also i belive to avoid the Nb5 ideas black can do this
Yeah, I this really bad. White gets a big advantage.
i am a benko fan and have been working on it for awhile, and i think i accidentally refuted it
the b file is completely plugged, the c4 square will be perched on by the knight, and black simply has 0 play for his pawn. i think Qb4 is the only way to survive but it seems that white still gets an easy game with his superior activity and a passed pawn
did i really just refute this?
