Benko Opening

[edit | edit source]

1...Nf6

[edit | edit source]

Black responds to White’s hypermodern idea with a hypermodern idea of their own. By developing the knight to f6, Black is playing a flexible move that allows for many transpositions to occur, while also attacking the centre from afar.
