How to play against the Benko gambit? Example game!

Sort:
watcha

Blitz game 5m+5s, but up to move 16 perfect opening moves. Against the Benko the magic move is 4. Qc2. Puts the queen on a very good square, plus lets you play e4. Let black take on c4, who cares? You can take back with tempo. Never try to save the light square bishop, defend it with the knight and let black take it. Try to play the dark square bishop to c3 via d2. This is important.
