Bananas

 Looking for an attacking opening against 1.d4 as Black. If you aren't confident enough to sacrifice a pawn in the opening with the Benko, you could always try it's slower cousin, The Benoni. Although White often gets up and running with a central pawn avalanche, if White gets it wrong, then Black often powers through.
