Yes, nice observation. It's not so uncommon that Black plays ...g6 & ...Bg7 in the Modern Benoni, so it does look "benoniesque". Perhaps we should call it the Benoni-Indian or something?

Rapport didn.t handle it so well, did he. A fine player, but sometimes he is a little bit too creative for his own good. His games are always interesting tho.

  fredthebear: I think so due to the central pawn exchanges 9...exd5 10.cxd5. See this Benoni game (the only such of its kind in the database): D Rajkovic vs A Kovacevic, 2001
