    Off the Wall Chess - Banking on the Benko

    Submitted by billwall on Mon, 03/10/2008 at 6:41pm.

    My opponent played the Benko Gambit against me and I was probably lucky to win.  I think my opponent resigned too early as there was still counterplay.  My opponent was banking on the Benko to give him a draw or win.  He might have succeeded with alternative moves or avoiding the pin that cost him a piece.
