Re: Benko-Volga group 1
and Grimm said Beware of the 'Benko Volga gambit declined, Kingsfull accelerated irritation variation'. It gets a bit tricky in the middle game and usually ends up bad.

Re: Benko-Volga group 1
In my two games with power I have a slight advantage, as White, but my analysis indicates that, with best play, Black can hold the draw. The game in which I have Black is a certain draw. So, unless one of the other players can nick power for at least a draw, Group 1 is going to wind up tied at 9-1.
 
(Both these games have now been drawn)

Re: Benko-Volga group 1
I've been on vacation for the past week. Please check the crosstable to ensure I've correctly tallied the results.
 
Interestingly enough, everyone has a single draw, leaving all the scores at the ½ mark ...
