Grünfeld Defence

1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 g6
3. Nc3 d5


This opening may seem to be similar to that of the Queen's Gambit and the King's Indian Defense, but actually this opening is totally different from the Queen's Gambit and the King's Indian Defense. Here Black provides an early opportunity to White to gain control over the center of chess with 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4. Now black shows its true power by launching a counter attack against that center, perhaps with ...c5 and thus stopping White from gaining an upper hand in the game. If Black succeeds in its motive, then the White Center may indeed be very vulnerable, if Blacks fails, the center will be very dominating.

  1. The main advantage of this move is that we make the opponent to think that black player is making a wrong move and gives way to whites victory, but the truth is it’s a eye washing technique which takes direct influence on white’s centre if it’s done successfully.
