Famous games with the Benoni?

Sort:
Fresh

So I currently play the KIA in response to 1.d4 to much success but I feel that I have peaked in terms of my current level of understanding in that defense.  Thus I am looking for sharper play.  So I wanted to see if anyone knew particularly good practioners of the Benoni or had a nice database of games on the matter.

 

Also, does anyone want to help me try it out?  I am around 1700ish so only challenge if you are comparably high please.

 

Thanks guys.

This game isin´

t exacly famous but it was between a GM and a strong player. It is quite sharp. The opening is the Benoni-Benko Gambit

I think the Benoni is fun, but I think the Benko Gambit has too little theory behind it.  I normally play the Meran, but the Benoni is very counterattacking.  Here is the Standard Benoni Formation.

Give me a little credit.  I know the typical Benoni lines.  I also know that the Snake variation has had the most success.  I wasn't asking for some intro.  Again, famous games, practioners, something I can examine is what I was asking for.

 

Thanks for the game KingsMove.
