The move order 1...e6 and 2...c5 is rare, I see no advantage in it compared to the standard 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6. If you want to avoid Benonis, you can reach an English type of position after 1.d4 e6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3, when Black will take on d4 sooner or later, or play 3...c5 reaching a Tarrasch (which is no problem for a queen's gambit player). | |
| Sep 22, 2017 at 14:11 | comment | added | TMM | I am not very well versed in these openings, but is 1. d4 e6 2. c4 c5 also an idea for black to reach some Benoni? Can white avoid such options with a different move order? (At least 2. e4 c5 would seemingly make less sense for black, and avoid a Benoni.) | |

What do you think about 2. e4?
