The first two games featured “Indian Defenses” and I thought they were King’s Indian Defenses. GotGoose correctly pointed out that those were Benoni Defenses. The third game was a Benoni. (Which one? Old? Classical? or…?) I am not an Opening theorist.
What I liked about this game was that I castled pretty late for me. Move 13. Usually, I am an early “castler”, but this time around, I waited to see what Black’s intentions were, and then declare my own by opening a line/file to Black’s King before I castled. Like the second game, I had to balance between defense and attack before going for an all out attack.
At the end of round 3, I had one loss, two wins, … four more wins to come…
