By A Customer

This review is from: Beating the Grunfeld (Batsford Chess Library) (Paperback)

Published in 1992, former World Champion Anatoly Karpov offers 6 chapters on facing Black's Grunfeld defence. An uncompromising system. At the time of publication Karpov had scored 6 wins, 1 loss and 16 draws vs Garry Kasparov (1986-1990) using his anti-Grunfeld approach. Chapters 1 & 2 (1.d4 Nf6, 2.c4 g6, 3.Nc3 d5, 4.cxd5, Nxd5, 5.e4 Bg7). Chapter 3 (5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7). Chapter 4 (4.Nf3 Bg7). Chapter 5 (4.Bf4 Bg7) and Chapter 6 (3.Nf3 Bg7, 4.g3 c6, 5.Bg2 d5). Sorry for the technical jargon, but who wants to buy an opening book without at least knowing the types of positions that may arise after the first few moves? I have turned down several books due to the lack of opening description. I hope this helps.
