Grossmeister-Repertoire 9 - Grunfeldindisch Band 2 by Boris Awruch

This Grossmeister-Repertoire 9 - Grünfeld Defence, Volume 2 by Boris Avrukh is a German-language chess opening book for ambitious players building a complete black repertoire against 1.d4. It completes the series’ Grünfeld coverage and focuses on the critical lines that arise after an early cxd5.

What the book covers

The Grossmeister-Repertoire series is designed for tournament players who want a serious main-line repertoire rather than a simplified overview. Its approach is practical and direct: build a repertoire around the variations that really matter over the board.

In Grünfeldindisch Band 2, Boris Avrukh presents Black’s repertoire against 1.d4 with particular attention to the sharp lines after an early cxd5. It is aimed at readers who want expert analysis of the variations, ideas and moves that shape the opening phase.

Why this volume stands out

• covers all critical variations with an early cxd5,
• includes hundreds of analytical novelties,
• questions many previously recommended continuations,
• offers a top-level repertoire against 1.d4,
• is written by a grandmaster with extensive repertoire-building experience.

That makes it useful both for players who already use the Grünfeld Defence and for those who want to add it to a repertoire based on main lines.
