I played a standard chess game as black with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the Benoni Defense, King’s Pawn Line. White obtains a space advantage, inherent with black’s choice of the Benoni Defense. Typically white should keep more minor pieces on board, but chooses to trade light-squared bishops and have the f-pawn contribute to white’s central pawn presence. Black must always be mindful of white’s e5 break and seek counterplay on the queen’s wing, where black has a 3 vs 2 pawn majority.
