Indian Defense: Pseudo-Benko
Overview
Indian Defense: Pseudo-Benko is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A43), 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.
Play reaches this position via 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 c5 3. d5 b5, after 6 plies of opening development.
The line refines Indian Defense: Spielmann-Indian, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
