I must day, you explain the moves of an opening in so much more detail than anyone I've watched. It actually helps me to understand the moves when I watch you make them (and hence helps when my opponents go off-book), rather than just resulting in me memorising the moves.
One of the clearest explanations of the key plans in the Benoni that I've seen. You have a gift for reducing openings to their essential ideas. I especially appreciate that you highlight the variations that don't work in a way that the average club player can understand. Kudos.
Ah! A cliffhanger ending! What will become of black?! Will white surge forward, overwhelming his army and laying waste to his castle leaving him naked and afraid? Or will he patiently allow white to advance upon him, holding his counter-attack until he "can see the whites of their eyes" and then, like a jujitsu master, use his enemy's momentum against him, deflecting and neutralizing the attack and leaving his enemy vulnerable to counter-attack? Find out next time on "Dereque Kelley Explains Chess Better than Anyone on the Internet!"
Thank you for the suggestion! I may in fact do one on the Scandinavian Defense real soon, though I think it may focus on 3...Qa5. Perhaps I can sneak in a reference to 3...Qd6 but I'm not sure :-)
Dereque Kelly,i just want to say thank you for you assistance....it's really with heart full of joy that i'm writing this.There is something unique about the way you explain this openings that makes you my favorite,the way you smile at the beginning and ending of the tutorial is really captivating and i want to say a big thank you on behalf of the whole Nigerians.Thumbs up and please do not stop!
Just found these videos. Quality. For ages I've looked for basic opening strategies from both perspectives. I find that this makes openings accessible - at last :) The presentation, graphics and over all style of the videos combined with the well thought out content sets the bar high. Well done to those involved.
Thank you! In general since Black has two defenders of the e6 square and White has only one, it is difficult to force this action through. (Black would probably just eat the pawn with ...fxe6)
Very interesting, I'd have to check out what you're saying but I don't need any convincing that f4 is a little premature. This is interesting! One notices again and again, the importance of White being moderate in his approach to seizing space and playing more restrained and gradually in many openings including the Benoni. And the plan you're describing sounds good, though I might worry I wouldn't have enough control over e5 later. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Dereque, I really love these opening analysis videos, especially this one as I play the Benoni and Benko against d4 quite often. Which leads me to request the Benko gambit as well as the Scandinavian Defense, namely 3... Qd6, the Pytel Variation, and how it relates to other possible queen moves. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you Dereque. Your video's are the only one's that I have been able to follow and start to understand the concepts involved behind the various possible moves in the game.
Thanks Dereque.I love your commentary and treatment ofthese basic openings. As a club player. I find a few watches arms me with enough information to begin a basic foray into these openings and defenses.. Thank you a million times. for this particuraly insightful video
What he never mentioned is that exactly the Taimanov Attack (7.f4) is the reason why Black usually reaches the Modern Benoni with different move order and plays 2.e6 first and only plays c5 after White placed a Knight on f3. Well, he basically presented perfectly why is Black doing that...
Hi Mr. Kelley. Really love your tutorial videos, really comprehensible! Can you please upload a tutorial about the opening Torre Attack, would really like to use it as an alternative to Queens Gambit. Thanks and more power!
I automatically hit like in all your videos. Then I watch them. Because I know they are awesome before I see them and it helps me track which ones I've seen already. :)
I was right! Excellent video! However, turns out the benoni is far more complex than I imagined. More research is required. Thanks for another great chess opening tutorial!
There are lines in which Black plays ...Na6 and lines in which Black plays ...e5 (though they are usually not played together). It seems to that both of these attempts give White increased chances for the initiative
Fantastic. I've been studying the Modern Benoni lately, and this is by far the clearest statement of the reasoning behind the Taimanov Attack that I've come across.
Hey mister Dereque nice job as always on the wonderful video,I wish the best for you and your channel.And again thank you so much for putting up these wonderful videos as i have been searching for the benoni defense.Your faithful subscriber since the very start.
This was really helpful! I'm a new player (well I've been playing for 20 years, but now I'm actually trying to get good at it instead of just pushing pieces around) and I think I'll consider adding this to my opening repertoire! Thanks for the informative video!
I am planning to make more videos yes! Both 1.d4 and 1.e4 can yield a tactical game. I, personally, question the validity of seeking a particular kind of game (tactical, or positional) from the outset. Developing players sometimes appear to spend a lot of time trying to force their games and studies to reach tactical positions, even to the point of choosing second-rate variations and openings for decades.
There are some interesting lines following Bb5+ where Black plays B/Nd7 and afterwards plays Nh5, 'losing' the knight after g4, but even after the smoke has cleared, Black still has plenty of chances.
Grate video, very well presented, good graphics, excellent sound and above all a really excellent explanation from both sides of the board! Thx. Ken... ;)
I'm really glad the videos address what you've been looking for! I appreciate your stopping by and leaving such an encouraging comment, thank you :) -Dereque
great video! can you make one about the czech benoni? (d4 nf6 c4 c5 d5 e5 nc3 d6) it looks more stable to black and less risky.. preventing this dangerous f4. thank you!
I'm not a great player but i play modern benoni ( as black), and i dont agree that f4 its premature. You described the taimanov variation wich was for a lot of time considererd as benoni refutation. Nowadays black learned how to counter it (with Nfd7), but black strugles for parity. Recently fianchetto variation and modern lines became popular, but its matter of what sort of games white are looking for. Immediate break or slow and solid development. Both are good, IMHO its just matter of taste.
i was really looking for this setup...this agressive white lines and what can black do to avoid this situation coz at the first look it seems very strong for white
Dereque, very informative, especially about Black. I prefer playing Black but I had not thought about the Benoni before. Now I have my homework set out. Many thanks for this. Ion
at 4:22 black moves 3...e6, what if white moves 4.dxe6 what is the best move for black now after 4.dxe6?? what should black best move? and for 5. ...?move for black 6. ...?move for black 7. ...?move for black can you help me Pretty Pretty Pls Sir Dereque :) this is my most favorite of all your videos thanks in advance.
Do you have a Benko Gambit video tucked away somewhere? Looking at other channels the modern benoni has fallen out of favor (though they failed to mention why).
very good video...once again from DK, a brief presentation of the thaimanov line which leaves black with no persuasive reply esp. after a4. Maybe a vid with benko gambit would suit the discussion here.
Great video's! I always check your videos out when I want to learn a new opening. Can you do a video on the Benko gambit. It seems like it gives black a better game than the Benoni. Thx in advance :)
I enjoyed this video but I do think you're overlooking that In my mind operational procedures are all the daily processes in the building, but health and safety affects all of them. So in adjusting them you would need to take into account risk assessments/safe systems and emergency procedures!
Dereque Kelley, I have a question. First ... I´m a tactical player, so a oter famouse tactical player ist Kasparov, he opens with white d4, so it´s for me d4 a good opening or more like d5? And the second question is, make you more videos? Thx. for the awnser!
Ah! I answered this in the message you also sent. But after 4...fxe6! Black simply has 2-1 in the center and an advantage in development since White has traded off a central pawn that has moved twice for a flank pawn. After 5.Nc3 d5! Black has an upper hand. -Dereque
I often find myself running into those kind of situations where my bishop is at G2, my knight on F3 and my opponent is pushing with his pawns. Looks like I really need to do my homework on that one. Still, thank you very much for the basic introduction of the situation. Love your videos, keep 'em coming! :)
sup Dereque...was looking at 4.dxe looks ok for white as 4. ...dxe leads to queen exchange and bad for black. So i saw after 4.dxe? ...Qe7! as now any exchange of f or d pawns just helps blacks development. Do you agree? Ive been using your vids as a reference guide for years...your presentation & explanations motivate me! Thanks man.
After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.f4 Bg7 8.Bb5+ the move 8...Nbd7 is possible but risky. Actually the move 8.Bb5+ in this line is a real headache to benoni-players, because 8...Nfd7 is not very convincing. If Black manages to get a good game with 8...Nbd7 then 8.Bb5+ does little sense. Obviously 8...Nbd7 is a really sharp move since it sacrifices a piece: 8...Nbd7 9.e5 dxe5 10.fxe5 Nh5 11.e6 with 11...Qh4+ being one possibility.
It’s openings like this that made me fall in love with chess. 😁!!,I thought it nerdy and dull until I saw Tal and Steinitz games!..does anyone know where the Benoni name comes from?...why it’s called that?
Great to hear! :) I am not familiar with why but maybe someone else is or you can look it up on Google? Welcome and thank you for sharing your comment! :)
It definitely creates great chances of counter-aggressive play, but I chronicle the line that I think is best for Black in the video, "strongest reply for d4" … the Benoni is very risky for Black and difficult to get good counterplay with if White REALLY knows what he's doing!! :) Sincerely, Dereque!! :)
+Cleverconure After 8. Nf3 O-O, if white plays something like Be2, black just continues development with Bg4, and follows it up with moves like Nbd7 and Re8, after which the position is basically equal, and white loses his initiative.

Thank you! In general since Black has two defenders of the e6 square and White has only one, it is difficult to force this action through. (Black would probably just eat the pawn with ...fxe6)
Interesting question! 10...Re8 could be an acceptable move but 10...Ng4 gives Black the advantage since it actually wins the e5-pawn outright.
Very interesting, I'd have to check out what you're saying but I don't need any convincing that f4 is a little premature. This is interesting!

Very nice intro and preliminary discussion. You've made me fall in love with this opening. Cheers, Dereque!
Cheers, David!! Thank you or the kind words! I'm really glad to hear that :) Thank you! :)
Thank you! I'd have to say I don't see myself analyzing the b5 variation for a video in the near future...
Hi Mr. Kelley. Really love your tutorial videos, really comprehensible! Can you please upload a tutorial about the opening Torre Attack, would really like to use it as an alternative to Queens Gambit. Thanks and more power!

Thank you very much, this is wonderful to hear!! :)
Fantastic. I've been studying the Modern Benoni lately, and this is by far the clearest statement of the reasoning behind the Taimanov Attack that I've come across.
Excellent to hear! :)
You are more clever than me- I never thought of this! Thank you for your kind words.
best chess opening channel at youtube, thank you veryt much
Outstanding video as always. I am quickly becoming a big fan of the channel!
Always very informative. If you could suggest one defence to the Queens Gambit for a beginner player to learn, what would it be? The Slav?
Subbed!
could you please make a video about the benko-gambit?
Johann Gerhard I love this suggestion! Thank you :)
Thank you! Really glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos :) -Dereque
Excellent analysis of this opening and options. Thank you!
Thank you!! :)

Great video ! But is it possible to make a video about the Old Benoni ?
The first not boring opening lesson I have watched... Thanks a lot!
:) You bet!
Thank you for the suggestion
Grate video, very well presented, good graphics, excellent sound and above all a really excellent explanation from both sides of the board! Thx. Ken... ;)
I think all 3 of those openings, Albin, Budapest and Marshall are fun openings to learn and play. The one I get to play the most is the Albin.
Thank you and I appreciate the suggestion!
I greatly enjoyed this video. Found it more informative than other Benoni videos. ill have to check more of your videos out!
firestorbucket Welcome! Very happy to hear you found the video enjoyable :)
#1 chess Instructor for me! Great job.
Thanks for the instructions on the Benoni.
I seem to be winning more games (with black though) after understanding the Knight retreat move Nd7.
Once more great Job! If possible, explain too your opinions about Budapest Gambit Queen trap in a video....Thanks
Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for the suggestion! :-)
Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you for all you opening lessons Dereque!
You bet!
great video. Im curios if white pushes that e pawn early....and the black knight retreats......what happens if white pushes that e pawn yet again?
I'm really glad the videos address what you've been looking for! I appreciate your stopping by and leaving such an encouraging comment, thank you :) -Dereque
great video!
can you make one about the czech benoni?
(d4 nf6 c4 c5 d5 e5 nc3 d6)
it looks more stable to black and less risky.. preventing this dangerous f4.
thank you!
Probably the Slav yes, with Queen's Gambit Declined also being a good choice. It is also possible to play 1...Nf6 of course! -Dereque
Very clear insightful analysis. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
what an instructive video, thanks a lot, it helped me a lot understanding the ideas and strategies in the benoni set up....realy good work Kelly
+yassine tarbaoui Thank you!! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Great, thank you! I appreciate the suggestion.
great video, i like the Benoni and King's Indian defenses against d4. what do you play against d4?
I'm not a great player but i play modern benoni ( as black), and i dont agree that f4 its premature. You described the taimanov variation wich was for a lot of time considererd as benoni refutation.

I think video on the Budapest Gambit could be quite interesting thank you!
i was really looking for this setup...this agressive white lines and what can black do to avoid this situation coz at the first look it seems very strong for white

and for 5. ...?move for black 6. ...?move for black 7. ...?move for black
can you help me Pretty Pretty Pls Sir Dereque :) this is my most favorite of all your videos thanks in advance.
Do you have a Benko Gambit video tucked away somewhere? Looking at other channels the modern benoni has fallen out of favor (though they failed to mention why).
great video, thanks. is there a chanse you will analyze the b5 variant?
very good video...once again from DK, a brief presentation of the thaimanov line which leaves black with no persuasive reply esp. after a4. Maybe a vid with benko gambit would suit the discussion here.
nikolas dimis Thank you! Appreciate the suggestion :)

But if I move my pond on e4 to e5 and then blacks pond on d6 captures white pond on e5, what to do?

Dereque Kelley, I have a question.
First ... I´m a tactical player, so a oter famouse tactical player ist Kasparov, he opens with white d4, so it´s for me d4 a good opening or more like d5?
And the second question is, make you more videos?
Thx. for the awnser!

Do you have favorite or least favorites for both Black and White, Dereque?
I often find myself running into those kind of situations where my bishop is at G2, my knight on F3 and my opponent is pushing with his pawns. Looks like I really need to do my homework on that one.
Still, thank you very much for the basic introduction of the situation. Love your videos, keep 'em coming! :)
+Loya “Loyal-G” Gatman Thank you!!! :)
Thank you! Yes, I like the suggestion - thanks!
Thanks for the reply also I may add if you could also upload a tutorial about benko gambit. hoping to transpose benoni to benko. Thanks again
can you make vid about old benoni
It's a great suggestion, thank you!! :)
+1 for ''Benoniish'' :)
btw keep up good job , very well structured and informative video
+42024247514 :)
Has Black ever tried a pre-emptive 6...a6 to keep that bishop check out?
If he plays this too soon my guess is White can force through an e4-e5 at the right moment, but I'm not entirely sure!
Icredible! What a video, what a enthusiasm! Great and Thanks!
sup Dereque...was looking at 4.dxe looks ok for white as 4. ...dxe leads to queen exchange and bad for black. So i saw after 4.dxe? ...Qe7! as now any exchange of f or d pawns just helps blacks development. Do you agree? Ive been using your vids as a reference guide for years...your presentation & explanations motivate me! Thanks man.
...fxe6
Dereque Kelley Ya, I eventually discovered that. thx
After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.f4 Bg7 8.Bb5+ the move 8...Nbd7 is possible but risky.

Hey! Thankyou for your videos. You explain this and make it look so easy.
Regards from Mexico city!
Great video, always looking forward to your next one!
Thanks. You have some best videos on opening theory.
can you make a vid on the czech benoni?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi thanks for the vids they are really good, does white somtimes play D6 bfore developing his knight. If so what is blacks best response to this?
Ne4
It’s openings like this that made me fall in love with chess. 😁!!,I thought it nerdy and dull until I saw Tal and Steinitz games!..does anyone know where the Benoni name comes from?...why it’s called that?
Great to hear! :) I am not familiar with why but maybe someone else is or you can look it up on Google? Welcome and thank you for sharing your comment! :)
Muchas gracias por traducir al español estos vídeos. Es muy difícil encontrar en forma gratuita muy buen material de ajedrez y en español.
David Tkalecz :) Thank you!
Is this a good alternative to Sicilian defence when d4 is white first move?
It definitely creates great chances of counter-aggressive play, but I chronicle the line that I think is best for Black in the video, "strongest reply for d4" … the Benoni is very risky for Black and difficult to get good counterplay with if White REALLY knows what he's doing!! :) Sincerely, Dereque!! :)
You bet!
Very good presentation! Thank you!
Thank you!
Where and how did you learn all this? :)
@craik62 As one of my favorite psychologists used to say, "Much work and practice, work and practice!" It's easy :-) -Dereque
Again another awesome break down. Cheers m8!
after Nf3 (The Natural yet sub-par move) what does black play? What is the refutation? (If white doesn't play e5, but plays something like Be2 or Bd3)
+Cleverconure I'm not sure where you're referring to, a move number could help!
Dereque Kelley Ah!
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 4. Nc3 exd5 5. cxd5 d6 6. e4 g6 7. f4 Bg7 8. Nf3 instead of Bb5+?
+Cleverconure
After 8. Nf3 O-O, if white plays something like Be2, black just continues development with Bg4, and follows it up with moves like Nbd7 and Re8, after which the position is basically equal, and white loses his initiative.
Ziqi Yuan So it transposes into like a four pawn attack setup.. I see! Well I play Re8 against the 4 pawns attack because it just wins for black (At least white's mainline does)
Nice video and insightful chess strategy.
:)
can the old Benoni (direct c5) be of interest as beginner's opening?
Sure!!
your explanation was very nice indeed! thanks for this because i finally had an idea on how to play benoni.
excellent! congratulations :)
plz say which will be effective opening against Lindon system
Ahh, this is a big topic, but with basic play I think Black is fine. The best is if he has played ...g6 & ...Bg7 & ...d6, but not always is it possible... :)
(Later on Black can play ...Qe8 & ...e5, blunting the f4-bishop and expanding the e-pawn) (2/2)
thanx can I use it against London system??
Hmm, not so easy to use against the London, but perhaps there is something with early ...c5 possible :)
Dereque Kelley k
