In this case, 3...d5 would be an inaccuracy. 😎 So, it's rather real Anti-Grünfeld. ![]()
Though you have to agree Neo-Grünfeld and Anti-Grünfeld sound very cool. Also Talking about Anti-Grünfeld I found something called the Anti-Anti-Grünfeld:
It was Alekhine's weapon vs. Grünfeld:
Now 3...d5 is suboptimal but still playable, giving the so-called Neo-Grünfeld (ECO: D70) Other Neo-Grünfeld variations (D71-79) arise after 3. g3.
3.d5 is still the most challenging reply and White cannot refute per se such a system, how is that suboptimal ?

Hmm... right, it seems that I exaggerated. LoL
At least, statistically, 3...d5 seems to be just the best/optimal.

imagine we have been thinking of the Grunfeld as some 'complicated' opening.
