Grandmaster Repertoire 8 - La defensa Grünfeld, volumen uno, de Boris Avrukh (tapa blanda)

This Grandmaster Repertoire 8 - The Grünfeld Defence, Volume One is an English-language paperback chess opening book by Boris Avrukh for players building a Black repertoire against 1.d4. As the first volume in the Grandmaster Repertoire series, it concentrates on the main Grünfeld lines in a deep, practical format.

What the book covers

Avrukh presents a repertoire built around the most important and critical Grünfeld variations. Volume One covers the fianchetto variation, the Russian variation with 4.Nf3 and 5.Qb3, lines with Bf4 and Bg5, and less common tries from White. It is aimed at readers who want a serious, well-analysed repertoire rather than a general introduction to the opening.

The Grandmaster Repertoire series is built around main-line opening work written by leading grandmasters. This volume is suited to opening preparation, repertoire building and tournament study, and it is also a useful resource for ambitious club players.
