The Gruenfeld Defence (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5) enjoys a special star statusin the family of Indian openings. It involves a daring, active concept: fightingfor control of the centre with an early d7-d5 thrust supported only by pieces.The ensuing lines and positions promise more active play than most openings.Black has to know the critical ideas and most promising plans as most lines arepretty sharp and concrete.
Many top players have tried to "refute" the Gruenfeld, honorably failed andended up defending its charms with remarkable success. The opening is fullycovered in 50 sections covering all lines of any importance. Two bonus sectionsdiscuss typical endgames - Black usually has equal or superior chances inGruenfeld endings - as well as characteristic middlegame pawn structures. TheDVD presents a repertoire - for each variation the author shows the best or mostpromising line for an amateur or tournament player. The games database gives thechance to understand more than 8000 Gruenfeld games played by the best players -1300 of them deeply annotated. The majority of the notes are by Krasenkow andFtacnik who have diligently covered the opening in ChessBase Magazine for twodecades.
Video running time: 7 hours 21 min.
