Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-31-08  jerseybob: 5..Nfd7 shows Byrne in a playful mood, and why not, leading 3-0 at that point. But even though the move may be somewhat inferior, his followup makes things worse, and a few moves later after 8..Nf6 all he's got is a bad Benoni 2 tempos down. And 11.e5! leaves black with a weakness he never sheds, the same e6 weakness that did in Botvinnik against Petrosian in one of the games of their 1963 match. So let's back up: I don't like black's 6..c5. I see 2 main alternatives, 6..e5 or the weirder 6..Nc6 7.d5,Nce5 8.Nxe5, d6xe5!?(8..Nxe5 9.f4 just leads to a center roll-up).
