Pavlovic - Unknown weapons in the Grünfeld

In my first book I wanted to enlighten the reader on those various lines that were

less explored, and those that have been almost forgotten but were nevertheless

interesting.

 

However this time the book is about cutting-edge lines, which is a very

modern approach to this fascinating opening. Moreover it is important to say that

when I was writing my first book a few years ago, surprisingly, some of these current

lines simply didn’t exist, or were only discussed in a very minor way.

It is true that the Grünfeld fits in very well with the engines’ way of playing chess,

and in that sense it’s almost the perfect opening with which to implement and generate

such ideas.

 

Let’s have a look now at what I mean and start reading my findings!

PALLISER, WILLIAMS - KING'S INDIAN KILLER: THE HARRY ATTACK

Do you want a simple and practical method to counter Black’s kingside fianchetto defences after 1 d4? A line that takes the initiative from a very early stage and creates difficult practical problems? If so, then The Harry Attack (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 h4!) is for you.

At first this looks like some sort of joke or, at the very least, a weird outlandish line. Aren’t we all taught to focus on development and control of the centre in the early stages? What’s 3 h4 got to do with that?

Perhaps surprisingly, this is a very difficult line for Black to counter effectively. This applies not just in practical play but also theoretically, where it is far from straightforward for Black even to find a route to equality. And when Black gets it wrong they are often on the receiving end of a very unpleasant miniature.

You may be thinking that surely the best chess engines can show how to counter this line? No! One of the unexpected features of leading engine play is their enthusiasm for shoving the h-pawn up the board and they fully concur that 3 h4! is a very decent move for White. Many leading players have taken the hint and 3 h4 is frequently seen at elite level.

Richard Palliser and Simon Williams (the GingerGM) provide a thorough guide to this fascinating line. They show how to adapt when Black chooses a King’s Indian set-up, a Grünfeld set-up, a Benoni set-up or even plays in Benko style.

The Harry Attack is easy to learn and is perfect for unsettling players steeped in the theory of their favourite Indian defences.  238 pages

PANCZYK, ILCZUK - Offbeat King's Indian

Dans la floraison de monographies d'ouvertures que nous avons vécue ces deux ou trois dernières années (et qui a permis de ratrapper bien des retards et de combler bien des manques), il restait une grande oubliée : de l'Est-indienne, seule la variante fianchetto avait fait l'objet d'une étude récente - mais rien sur les lignes avec e4 depuis les deux volumes de Nunn sur la variante classique. Eh bien, ce manque criant commence à se combler : en attendant un Sämisch King's Indian annoncé prochainement chez Batsford, voici déjà cet Est-indienne hors des sentiers battus qui rendra bien des services aux soupirants de la belle. On y retrouvera les variantes 5.Cge2 (naguère traitée dans un Easy Guide) et 5.Fd3, le faussement inoffensif système Makogonov 5.h3 (qui avait fait l'objet d'un CD Chessbase) et surtout la très em...poisonnante variante Averbakh, cauchemar de tous les praticiens de l'Est-indienne. On pouvait avoir quelques craintes quand au style, car les auteurs de cet opus avaient commis l'an dernier un solide mais très indigeste Cambridge Springs chez Gambit - mais ils se sont évidemment pliés à la formule Everyman et, si le résultat n'est sans doute pas le plus brillant de la série, il est en tous cas lisible. Ce qui est l'essentiel.
