Grandmaster Repertoire 2A - King's Indian and Grunfeld by Boris Avrukh (Paperback)

This Grandmaster Repertoire 2A - King's Indian and Grunfeld by Boris Avrukh is an English-language paperback chess book for ambitious players building a repertoire against 1.d4. It focuses on two of Black’s most important and dynamic defences — the King’s Indian Defence and the Grunfeld Defence — with a revised Fianchetto System at the centre of the work.

What this book covers

This is the third of four fully updated volumes in which Boris Avrukh revisits and refines his well-known repertoire work from 2008 and 2010. In Volume 2A, he keeps his preferred fianchetto setup but presents it in a new, extensively analysed form, giving readers a repertoire designed for practical play against two very popular Black openings.

The book is aimed at players who want more than a general introduction. It offers concrete repertoire material for serious study, making it especially useful for club players, coaches and tournament competitors preparing for the King’s Indian Defence and the Grunfeld Defence.
