The eight-time Russian Champion is back to complete your Grünfeld Repertoire
The issue with the Grünfeld is that White has several ways to try to move-order you away from it. And they will surely do so, as the top-level fashion shows, starting the game with the English or the Reti, for example! Of course, you could prepare different replies to those openings.
Or, you could save your time, stay faithful to the Grünfeld, and use their transpositional opportunities to your advantage! That’s what GM Svidler is going to teach you in this course. A complete Grünfeld-like repertoire that ensures you will always be on familiar ground.
Often, you’ll have the chance to transpose to Vol.1 territory. But at the very least, you will get lively positions where you can fight for the initiative and put White under pressure from the get-go.
A repertoire that goes the extra mile
Together with Vol.1, this repertoire offers you a fighting game against virtually anything but 1.e4.
On top of staying true to the Grünfeld spirit, Peter aimed to make your learning as simple as possible. That’s why he smartly dodges awkward lines like the complete family of h2-h4 in the 1.Nf3 2.c4 move-order or the non-fianchetto replies to the London system.
Moreover, you’ll find plenty of discoveries or improvements over existing theory, including Peter’s 2016 chess24 series on the Grünfeld.
Press hard for the initiative against the:
♟️ Fianchetto Variation (1.Nf3 Nf6) – when White plays slow and shy in the center, you’ll grab space with a reversed King’s Indian where nothing will worry you.
♟️ Symmetrical Grunfeld (1.Nf3 Nf6) – set up a comfortable Maroczy bind after cleverly sidestepping the h4 variations.
♟️ Main Line with 4.e4 (1.Nf3 Nf6) – dodge the King’s Indian move order with the 4…e5 pawn sacrifice and play energetically for the initiative in the center.
♟️ English (1…g6 2.e4) – again, after avoiding any KID trickery with 2…e5, you will get quick development and center play with the d5 break.
♟️ Symmetrical English (1…g6 2.Nc3 c5) – control over d4 is the recipe here. Even when White manages to break on d4, you’ll secure a lively position with meaningful play for your pieces.
♟️ Veresov Attack (1.d4 2.Nc3 3.Bg5 ) – you’ll learn the smart move-order that leaves Black with all the kinetic energy to take advantage of white’s tender dark squares.
♟️ London System (1.d4 2.Bf4) – Jobava, London’s Mainline, sidelines, punch all those boring setups in the teeth with active Grünfeld-like play.
♟️ Torre Attack (1.d4 2.Nf3 3.Bg5) – Handle this line of yesteryear as a Reversed Reti where the tempi difference doesn’t harm Black.
♟️ Trompowsky Attack (1.d4 2.Bg5) – You’ll be happy to have the Bishop pair and the center in the concrete 2…d5 and 3…gxf6 mainline.
♟️ Larsen’s Opening (1.b3) – Follow the newest trend and show the cowboys how development and space beat ‘the nonsense spirit of this entire line’.
♟️ Bird’s Opening (1.f4) – Sadly for the Dutch fans, their opening is not good even a tempo up.
And those are just the sidelines that have a name! 1.g3 and every transpositional move order that you may fear is also covered. Plus, this course has three different quickstarter guides so that you can easily organize your way into it.
Clocking at 20 hours of video instruction with GM Svidler, 720 trainable variations, this isn’t just an Anti-Grünfeld course. Together with Vol.1, it’s a dynamic repertoire that covers you against virtually every serious move but 1.e4.

more importantly, when we have to make an exception to the standard plan, a very good explanation of what would happen if we didn’t do it,
Avery (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Paul (verified owner) –
I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.
Kaden Arabic (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Steven William (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Samuel (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Nicholas (verified owner) –
Decent course. Compared to his other courses, this course is relatively simple and faster to learn. Probably the nature of Grunfeld opening itself could be a reason.
Julian (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.

Putri Nuraisyah (verified owner) –
For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.
Leo (verified owner) –
he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer
Matthew (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Bambang (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Kayden (verified owner) –
I’m still a fairly new adult learner and have looked at all the major courses and finally feel like I have an option that makes sense for my level and available time.
Chelsi (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Mateo (verified owner) –
I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.

I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Hayden (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Jackson (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Max (verified owner) –
Also, this course is not aimed at advanced and master level therefore; it didn’t overwhelmed me with things that I don’t need to worry about at my level.
Oktavia (verified owner) –
I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
Angel (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.

Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
