I bought it as well. Although I wasn't particularly interested in taking up the Grunfeld the fact it was by Svidler intrigued me...who knows maybe I'll surprise a few people with it one day Smiley

I was impressed but as I'm far from an expert on the opening take that as you will. I saw a chess24 Q&A today with Peter where he said he was very proud of the series and considers some of the videos 'masterpieces' in his humble opinion! I'm sure he wouldn't he able to say anything bad about them even if he wanted to on that platform, but those words coming 6 months or so after their publication means something.

The Grunfeld According to Peter Svidler (chess24)

Greetings all Smiley , So I just purchased my friend Peter Svidler's concise treatise on his favourite Grunfeld defence. It's over 12 hours long of super-G goodness exploring a very topical opening from the man himself. So far I've enjoyed it deeply, but until now have never really played the opening myself so I come to this a Grunfeld novice. 

So here is hoping to compare notes and get the ball rolling on a body of work that is sure to interest a lot of people out there. Has anyone else out there purchased this yet? Thoughts? 

Again, just want to get the ball rolling, I'll post some lines I'm interested in exploring further once I get more into this and hopefully am encouraged by like minded people out there. 

Best,


Snow_Lion
