The Bulgarian theoretician GM Petar Arnaudov has prepared a unique opening database in which he builds a complete repertoire against the Grunfeld Defense. His proposed repertoire is based on the so-called Russian system which arises after the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Qb3
In his analysis, he suggests tricky options against every single Black's option. The database, as well as a free sample, could be found HERE.
