As the title suggest we look at The Benko and couple of traps that RHP
players have fallen for. Then an analysed 1992 Benko played by two
Grandmasters. This game hides a neat ‘what if’ variation which I show.

Then a wonderful discovery tucked away in a deep dark corner of the
Red Hot Pawn database. Is it cruel to laugh?......Nah it’s only a game.

Aleshka54 - Arayn RHP 2022 (Black to play)

Guess what Black played expecting a bare King draw.

This weeks puzzle.

Matokhine - Kuzmine USSR 1970.

Black to play and win. (solution in the bloggy thingy.)
