The Grunfeld

I am a bloody big fan of the Sicilan Najdorf, but I want to enlarge by reportoire ( and as Bill Wall says that it is good to have two openings for Black and White) and I am highly considering studying the Grunfeld defense. I was going to chose the KID, but I dont like the d6 pawn push. I like the pawn push to d5. Does selecting the Grunfeld as a second Opening sound like a good idea? Thanks mates!

I just watched a game and I am now re-considering the KID. I am torn between the Grunfeld and the KID. Any suggestions?

Do you like vanilla or chocolate?

Flip a coin.  Or wake up two hours earlier than you normally would and study them both.  Smile

You can chose also vs. d4  Queen's Gambit or Slav. It's very solid.

Amen on the Queen's Gambit, mate.

modern defense (kingside fianchetto). it's the only way. and i mean that. the only way.

I'll take some cookies.

 

But seriously, I think the Modern Defence is great. If you do study it, you don't need another black opening. You can play it against anything, and get an equal game if you know what you're doing.

I think I'd take chocolate...perhaps vanilla is a little old fashioned...?!
