Originally posted by cmsMasterI suppose it was called a Benoni, because of the d4, c5 bit, but I still think it seems to fit the Franco-Sicilian Variation better.

Game 2010084 Near win against 2100s player, crushing rook for pawn swap at the end though 😞
Game 2086397
Sacrificed the exchange on move 19 to get rid of his most important piece - his dark squared bishop.
I'll submit this one, It isn't against a completly retarded oppenant, and hasn't got any blindingly obvoius blunders, thus it was a *reasonably* well played game
Game 2156452
I was using an opening book, but his 4th move was not "in book", so I thought about how best to reply,after a while I concluded that it wasn't in book because it was crap.... (costs tempo..2 Knight moves)
...and I was elated when he played 7.a3, because all the variations that I could think of (from that point on) were favourable for Black.

Game 2, har har, you beat "the gambit".
I saw the possibility of the sac earlier in the game when it would have killed me even earlier but after getting rid of a couple of pieces thought I'd be alright, I was wrong. Too many of Smaug's pawns bearing down on my lack of pawns, finished me off well.
