@Benkobaby Take a look at Aronian's well-annotated (in ChessBase, and in NIC) win over Sutovsky.

Good morning! I just got done watching "Portrait of Jennie"--really neat film
Here is the position on the fourteenth move:
What the one with the spooky mirror?
That was an interesting second for white

No mirror, it's kind of philosophical about time and speculative about love, illusion and reality, with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton. It wasn't a movie to watch if you have to turn your mind to chess immediately. The movie is still going through my mind.
The position is interesting:

yes, talking about vaganians is popular here.
As Black I never play the Nimzo or the Bogo .... like a dog unable to resist chasing its favourite ball I always play 2. ...c5! after 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4. I can't help myself - it's a pavlovian response.
And since you play the Benko, I'm guessing you play 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5!?
Is that the Vaganian Gambit? I've never played it but it looks very interesting! To tell you the truth I have very little experience with 3. Nf3 and limited experience with 3. d5 b5 4. Nf3 - My opponents invariably push 3. d5 and accept at least the first pawn - many of them then follow up with 5. e3 (after 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 b5 4. cxb5 a6) which used to be called the "Modern Variation" (IM Pinski calls it the "wimps line" and GM McDonald calls it "anaemic"
) My higher rated opponents almost always play the Epishin Variation of the Benko (10. Rb1!) which I've found to be a veritable Benko Party Pooper!
But you've now given me something to study and prepare for - Thanks!
