Benoni Defense: Old Benoni, Schmid Variation

Initial Position

After 1.d4 c5 2.d5, Black continues with 2...d6 and 3...g6, adopting a fianchetto setup. This variation combines the early c5 challenge of the Old Benoni with a King's Indian-style development. Black aims for a solid, flexible position with good piece activity and potential for expansion on both flanks.
