The Grünfeld is a fearsome defense…
if Black is allowed to get into their starting setup without any compromise. Which is why our plan is to stir up threats before they can “settle in.”
After
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Nf3 Bg7, we drag Black into a fist fight with their pants down after

Here’s a quick tour:
⚡ First, you’ll look into the repertoire’s general strategy… and tips for making the best use of the course. You’ll love InfiniteFlash's tailored suggestions based on the time and effort you’re willing to put into the course.
⚡ Quickstarter chapter/Important variations: The Quickstarter covers 21 must-know lines in the opening, so you can start fighting with Harry the h-pawn in the shortest time possible. Then, you can train the course's important variations (using the Important Only setting), which will cover a broad range of move orders and responses from Black.
