did i accidentally bring back life into the benko?

Sort:
AngryPuffer

so i was experimenting with some more benko lines and noticed that Qb4 lines can give black great counterplay without his usually being cramped on the queenside type of play

this move refuses white any Nb5 tricks and gives black enough time to clamp down on the position with c4 and Nb6, targetting the a4 pawn. this just seems to give black everything he wants, but why does white still have +0.9 here? what does white get that gives him that much other than the pawn? this line seems to give black much of his needed compensation for the pawn with major, real pressure on the queenside.

oh, so it was very useful

qu is "k" as in unique

eu is "you" as in feud

and e is silent as in made

Ilampozhil25

wait, that means that the comment is as useful as the commenter ("you")

anyway i have lots of mental "compacity" yes

What, you are Drawgood? How are the ratings so different? And the different flags what?
as far as i can see, it's a genuine question from OP, and makes sense to ask even though engine lines exist. i mean, you can say "ask engine" about a lot of things.
maybe you don't care about evaluating positions (not sure how one can care about chess that way but okay), but that doesn't give you the license to invalidate those who do

where is the pressure

white just plays Bd2 and consolidates his position, if c4 Nd4 and then Nb5 or something, etc

AngryPuffer

nb6

what you doing?

this is why Qb4 is the only way for black to fight

its extremely tricky and it shows that the white pawn on a4/b2 will be a liabiity

and whites e4 pawn is weak

Good to see you’re learning from the database of my games.

huh

all i did in both my comments is: respond to a misconception in english pronunciation

and in spelling

please explain how that explains any of your claims

Ilampozhil25

i never said literally anything of what you said, and never implied that i thought any of those things either

anyone can go and claim a bunch of things about someone else without basis, but that doesnt give any of the statements any basis...

now both nc4 and c4 are bad

and if you try to trade queens with qc4 there's a5! Qxe2 nxe2 Nbd7 Ra4! Nb6 Ra3! Nbd7 Rc4! the point being that you play Bc3 and Nd2-Nc4 after you move your rook from c4 to a4

Qb4 isn't bad. I think it's a pretty good try.
