		Benoni books do not bother with it either, for White need not play c2-c4 and if the e-file is opened (which often happens) the central pawn structure is quite different.
		Black cannot hope for a Benoni type counterplay, for White puts a piece and not a pawn on c4." However, he gave no concrete examples to support this argument and 3 d5 gives a kind of middle game that may be unwelcome to many 1 e4 players.
		Move order in the Franco Benoni seems flexible, which makes its study even harder, and after 1 e4 e6 2 d4 c5 3 d5 exd5 4 exd5 d6 it was not easy to find grounds to choose between the different knight developments.

	Benoni Defense at AllExperts
		The Benoni Defense is a group of chess openings generally characterized by the opening moves 1.d4 c5 2.d5 although Black's...c5 and White's answer d5, is often delayed until move 2 or 3.The most usual opening sequence for the Benoni is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5.
		The Modern Benoni is thus a very combative and double-edged opening, indeed, it is one of the most double-edged openings with 1.d4.
		The Old Benoni frequently transposes to the Modern Benoni or Czech Benoni, but there are a few independent variations.

	The Battle of Fort Griswold
		The old slave, Lambo, was found lying with thirty-three bayonet wounds among the dead in the fort, where he twice had saved the life of his master, only to lose his own.
		And so all through Groton and the neighboring towns were seen, during those dreadful days, processions bearing the dead and wounded to the homes and firesides they had laid down their lives to protect.
		Many of these heroes are sleeping near the old fort that remains very much the same as on the day of battle.

		Nowadays, the Modern Benoni defense is a rare bird.
		The Benoni is characterized by the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.6 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5.
		The theme of the Benoni is that fl must stop white from expanding with an eventual e5, while white must stop fl's queen side majority from advancing.

	The Gambit Guide to the Modern Benoni
		Indeed, he suggests that many of the lesser-played alternatives create their own problems, and he is happy to wade into these even when other books don't mention them.
		The Modern Benoni is an unbalancing, fighting defense that has appealed to no-holds-barred players.
		A player who already plays the Benoni is likely to find at least a few variations where favored lines are not covered at all.

	The Pushed Pawn Chess for the Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The most common is the Modern Benoni, which may come after the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 d6 5.e4 exd5 6.cxd5 g6 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6.
		Black will fianchetto his king's bishop to g7 and castle, playing for an attack on the queenside and the semi-open e-file.
		King's Indian Defense, Black's fianchettoed bishop is a lot more active since it is not blocked by a fl pawn on e5.

		The Modern Benoni is one of Black's most swashbuckling openings, used to devastating effect by such players as Tal, Fischer, Kasparov and Topalov.
		The sharp defenses all seem to be in decline, in my opinion, and are wheeled out less than ever before.
		But in the main line, most benoni experts tend to think fl should play 9..b5, and then the bishop capture leads to a draw (with "best play", Karpov has banged his head against a wall trying to win these positions) where fl seems to have no way of stirring up any winning chances.
