"Oh, what do we have here? The Benoni Defense?" Irfan blinked his eyes in surprise when he saw the opening move that Sheva pulled. "It has been a long time since he showcased his unique opening repertoire, right?"
"Indeed, the last time he pulled this opening was against Mustafa Yilmaz from Turkey in the Tata Steel a few months ago." Bagas nodded excitedly.
As the main follower of Sheva's career, the boy could be said to know all the weapons under Sheva's sleeves, from the one he liked to use to the one he saved the most for the special occasion. This opening was definitely the latter case, as his best friend didn't use it quite often.
People knew that Sheva had it in his arsenal, yet no one could really prepare for that since the boy himself didn't use the opening often.
"Now, the question is, will we see a normal Benoni Defense or will Sheva give us the pleasure to witness another masterclass in the Benko Gambit?" Bagas said his body was shaking in excitement.
