I was thinking your comment would've been about the chess opening you were memorizing. I didn't play the benoni for long. I got crushed most of the time.

What I'm working on at the moment is my white repertoire, so I would also love to crush any Benoni that is played against me! I named the first Benoni variation in my repertoire the "jet" because it is the 61st variation in my whole system: "6" = "j" and 1 = "t" , so "jet" is an obvious keyword option. I remembered the opening moves by noticing that the four pawns that end up in the centre look a bit like a Mig 15 jet fighter... In that variation Whites delays developing the g1 knight. I call that knight "Falstaff" (most of the time - sometimes "Charles Dickens" - and that's because I call the g1 square Gads Hill, where Dickens lived, just opposite the Falstaff Inn), and I imagine that cowardly old Falstaff would have been afraid of flying and so would stay at home.
