Sabotage the Grunfeld!

Grandmaster Larry Kaufman presents a very effective way for White to disrupt the plans and demolish the position of players on the black side of the popular Grunfeld Defence. The repertoire Kaufman recommends leaves Black the unpleasant choice of either facing a well-prepared opponent ready for immediate attack, or ending up in an altogether different opening which is not going to leave him very happy: the Saemisch variation of the Kings Indian.This aggressive approach, which has sometimes been called the Alekhine Anti-Grunfeld, should appeal to amateurs while being sound enough for elite players to employ. Kaufman clearly lays out the strategic concepts as well as the concrete variations and presents a wealth of new resources for both White and Black.,
