The Grunfeld is an exciting and dynamic answer to 1 d4, and has
become very popular at all levels of chess. A major reason for this
is that it has been a long-time favourite of the World's
strongest-ever chess player, Garry Kasparov, who used it many times
in his numerous World Championship battles. The Grunfeld very much
relies on the principles of the hypermodern school of chess: Black
allows White to erect an impressive-looking centre on the
assumption that in the long run it could prove to be more of a
liability than an asset. Play often becomes very complex and
tactical, one of the reasons the Grunfeld appeals to ambitious
players.
Despite its attractions, some prospective Grunfeld players are
discouraged by the necessity of needing to learn numerous different
variations in such a complex opening. In "Play the Grunfeld,"
however," "opening expert Yelena Dembo circumvents this problem by
producing a comprehensive and yet workable repertoire for Black,
offering a solution against each of White's tries, whether it's a
critical main line or a tricky sideline. After reading this book,
you will have the required knowledge and confidence to begin
playing the Grunfeld in your own games.
*Written by a renowned Grunfeld expert
