Tomic, S.(1965) – FM Adzic, S. (2058)
Classical Benoni
Vrsar Open 2025, Round 4
April 30th 2025

I take great pleasure in attacking Benoni players. It’s because they’re the ones who want to attack and get compensation for lack of space or loss of material. When you turn the tables, and start attacking before they do, they often don’t know what to do and don’t defend properly. I don’t fear the Benoni anymore:D
