"I mainly use Nf6 as a response to d4 by White." ++ Good
"I play the Czech Benoni when White follows with c4" ++ OK
"go Dutch Defense instead" ++ That makes no sense: either Benoni or Dutch
"There's no overlap between the Benoni and the Dutch" ++ That is correct
"If I start with Nf6, I have to commit, (...That, or waste another move going Ng8, f5.)"
++ After ...Nf6 that makes no sense.
"What should I do in case White goes for some other pawn structure like e4-d4-c3?"
++ The point of 1...Nf6 is to avoid 2 e4. Against a pawn structure e3-d4-c3 just continue developement
"I've tried the King's Indian before" ++ It is either Benoni, or King's Indian Defense
"it also requires c4" ++ No, it does not.
"I'm thinking of switching to the Queen's Indian" ++ Another one
"it seems to be the closest formation to the Dutch Defense."
++ No, closest to the Dutch Defense is... the Dutch Defense.
Make up your mind. Do you want Benoni, or Dutch, or King's Indian, or Queen's Indian?
Pick one and stick to it. All work against 1 d4, 1 c4, 1 Nf3.
Hello. I mainly use Nf6 as a response to d4 by White. I play the Czech Benoni when White follows with c4, but when he doesn't, I have no opening plans to go off of... I want to take back the move and go Dutch Defense instead if White goes offbeat, but of course, I can't do that. There's no overlap between the Benoni and the Dutch. If I start with Nf6, I have to commit, (...That, or waste another move going Ng8, f5.)
What should I do in case White goes for some other pawn structure like e4-d4-c3? I've tried the King's Indian before, but it also requires c4. I only have good performance on it when White closes the center with e4-d5-c4. If it's any other pawn structure, like exchange dxe5, I completely fall apart. Right now, I'm thinking of switching to the Queen's Indian, as it seems to be the closest formation to the Dutch Defense.
