Benko Gambit is alive!

Many people think that Benko Gambit is a bad opening, especially because of 12.a4 line.
But we have 11...Qb6 improvement! 

Today I just played an excited game with that move.

Nice one yes? :)

To crush with ChessMood openings or to be crushed- it's a choice :)

d4,nf3 and d4,bf4

Hello Coach and ChessMood family, what is the best reply for black against, d4,nf3 or d4,bf4. I face this opening line quite often, let me know your thoughts and ideas, thank you.

Preparing for a known opponent

Every Monday night I play a G90+5 game, and this week I got my pairing very early, so I have time to prep for my opponent! 

I will be playing black against an expert level player, and he almost always plays the Kings Indian Attack with white, with his first moves being 1.e4, 2. Nf3, 3. g3 and 4. Bg2.

I have played this gentleman 17 times in over the board play! I am 3 wins 3 draws and 11 losses against him, however we have not played since I started with the ChessMood openings, so I know I can surprise him!

Any ideas how I should play against his set up is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help!
