Benoni Defense: Semi-Benoni
Overview
Benoni Defense: Semi-Benoni is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A44), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
The line arises from 6 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 c5 2. d5 e5 3. e4 d6.
The line refines Benoni Defense: Old Benoni, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
