The Gruenfeld Defence
The Gruenfeld Defence (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5) enjoys a special star status in the family
of Indian openings. It involves a daring, active concept: fighting for 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 are pretty sharp and concrete.
Many top players have tried to “refute” the
Gruenfeld, honourably failed and ended up defending its charms with remarkable success.
The opening is fully covered in 50 sections covering all lines of any importance. Two bonus
sections discuss typical endgames - Black usually has equal or superior chances in Gruenfeld
endings - as well as characteristic middlegame pawn structures.
The DVD presents a repertoire - for each variation the author shows the best or most promising
line for an amateur or tournament player. The games database gives the chance 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 and Ftacnik who have dilligently covered the
opening in ChessBase Magazine for two decades.
Video running time: 7 hours 21 min. Lubomir Ftacnik is a Slovak grandmaster with decades of experience in international
chess. As a younger member of a strong chess generation in the former Czechoslovakia
he helped to win silver at the Luzern Chess Olympiad in 1982. Most of his fellow grandmasters
have been keen defenders of Gruenfeld Defence and the author has come up with
his share of ideas in various lines. The work on the Gruenfeld DVD is the fruit of 30 years
experience with this active and rewarding opening.
