GG Bennani

Khalid Bennani presses olive oil near Meknes, from groves his family has worked for four generations, to the rhythm of a crop that ripens when it ripens. He sells to the same merchants his father did and keeps the best pressing for the house. He does not initiate. He will not be the first to break a position open, will not manufacture a contact he did not need, and if the other player is equally unwilling the game takes an hour and he is entirely content with that. Rivalry does not come into it. He has simply never seen the argument for going first.
