Indian Game, Pseudo-Benko – Standard chess #16

I played a standard chess game as white with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the Indian Game, Pseudo-Benko where white opts for a positional system that quickly challenges black’s b5 advance. The resulting position ultimately closes the queenside in this one with the attention then shifting to both center and kingside. Important decisions need to be made regarding pawn captures. Is the capture one that will benefit you? Is the capture a necessity? Will an opened position benefit me?
