amazing analysis, well done sir, definitely will try out playing this way OTB, I've seen other courses on this from modern chess and there is Giri Benko course on chessable I think, looks like Benko got ressurected a 2nd time (1st time was Perunovic g6 lol). Big problem for me still remains what to do against annoying 5.e3. Any plans to do a video on that? Thanks

Definitely gonna add this to my blitz repertoire. I don't wanna share it cause this is gold!

Lines look easier to play with perunovic benko? Looks like lots of uncomfortable positions with early e6 at least under 2000

As a benoni player this is gold

Can someone please tell me the moves that got him to the starting position. I have an opening textbook and could look it up, but if any of you know them off the top of your head, can you please share them with me? (Thank you!)
