The Benoni Defense (A56) is a distinct Benoni Defense variation, defined by the move c5. Historically played by Mikhail Tal, this system highlights imbalanced structures.
Strategic Context: While g5 is the main choice, c5 offers a different perspective. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move challenges the center from the flank. However engines consider this ambitious, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks and control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure..
Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.96), with a high probability of a draw.
Also known as: Benoni: 2...c5, Benoni Defense, Modern Variation, Hromadka Defense; Loose Gambit: A56
