1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3-avoiding Grünfeld mainlines? I took this special question of my post in "general issues" because it better suits here. After the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6, what about 3.f3? If Black wants to play the King´s indian, 3.f3 s... Started 10/07/08 at 08:45:28 by derdudea	3	3812	10/07/08 at 23:18:42 By: derdudea
Reply to White's 3.d5 pawn advance Hi All, In the Grunfeld defence, what happens if White plays 3.d5 after 1.d4,Nf6, 2.c4,g6 ? Doesn't the pawn advance cramp up Black's position? Regards, Utpal Started 04/05/15 at 15:16:43 by Utpal Nandi	7	6248	06/18/15 at 19:54:59 By: kylemeister
Is the Grunfeld a poor opening for winning chances I've played a lot of blitz with the Grunfeld lately and I enjoy the positions but they seem a lot more defined than with the NID/QID where you get a ton of pawn breaks and the game is closed longer. <...

Queen vs. 3 minors in the Grunfeld Hi I was wondering what do others think of the rather typical Grunfeld situation of a queen vs 3 minor pieces. In particular I am thinking of the line: [pgn][Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date ...\|/pgn] Recently I have been searching for a secondary line against the Grunfeld (which is also my main defence as Black) and so far I have been looking at this 5.Qa4+ line.

7. Bc4 Ex.Grunfeld: Van Wely- S.Kudrin Foxwoods'06 Van Wely recently played two interesting games in the 7. Bc4 exchange at Foxwoods. He didn't get anywhere with his 16.

Underappreciated line in the 5. Bf4 Grunfeld? After 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. Bf4 0-0 6. e3 c5 7. dxc5 Qa5 8. Rc1, the mainline by far is 8...dxc4 and continues 9. Bxc4 Qxc5 10. Bb3. This position is recommended by Svidler ... Started 09/13/21 at 07:57:42 by Hindemith	2	1653	09/14/21 at 06:14:37 By: Hindemith
Dembo's Grunfeld book Dembo gives this line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Bf4 Bg7 5. e3 O-O 6. Nf3 c5 7. dxc5 Qa5 8. Rc1 dxc4 9. Bxc4 Qxc5 10. b3 Nc6 11. O-O Qa5 12.

Long-term weapon against Grunfeld? The interesting thing about the Grunfeld is that it is not immediately clear what the "main line" is. For example, in the Nimzo or Queen's Indian one can say, specialise in 4. e3 and 4. g3 respectivel... Started 04/15/14 at 15:59:56 by lnn2	7	7035	08/17/14 at 18:50:58 By: Smyslov_Fan
Grandelius ...Qa6 against the exchange Be3/Nf3/Nd2 Hi guys, just a quick question: I am looking right now at the Gruenfeld exchange with Be3 and Nf3.

Grunfeld books I have a few books on the Grunfeld and am currently looking through Dembo's book. I like the layout and she gives plenty of lines for white and black. Without getting into details, I don't agree wit... Started 01/26/16 at 12:14:11 by crdII	11	8287	10/26/20 at 11:37:13 By: Seeley
Grunfeld Justification It's clear from the theory and general opinion that the Grunfeld is a sound opening. However, this fact goes against a lot of what is commonly taught and I'm still not sure I understand why the Grunfe...

Grunfeld to avoid knight on the edge ? I think that the variation 1.d4 Nf6 2.ç4 g6 3.Nç3 d5 4.çxd Nxd5 5.Nf3 Bg7 6.Na4 !? is interesting for white, so what do you think for black about : 5.Nf3 NxNç3 6.bxNç3 Bg7 trying to reach a "normal" G...

Why does the Modern Exchange work? Critical lines in the Grunfeld can start with 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3 Bg7 7.

Looking for challenge vs Grunfeld I am slowly coming to the conclusion that after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 is a mistake because of d5.

Fianchetto Grunfeld I always felt that the line 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nf3 Bg7 4 g3 d5 5 cxd5 Nxd5 6 Bg2 00 7 00 Nb6 offered black good play after hitting back in the centre with ...e5 and attacking on the queenside w...

REQUEST: GM Repertoire (vol. 7; Gruenfeld) New here. I was looking at the Gruenfeld forum and saw an earlier topic on an update for Rowson's decade old book (actually it came out in 1998 I think).
