nice again
Grunfeld
Sort:
Anything besides the exchange grunfeld
Grunfeld is to complicated to give ideas here.
Just go at wikipedia page or better, purchase a good book on it.
The reference book :
I really only need about 1 or 2 ways to play it.
The grunfeld is a huge theory infested opening. Even one or two ways to play it might be too much work for a 2000 rated player. Not to mention, your 1600 on chess.com.
It further doesn't help the fact that you haven't specified which colour side you want help from or what kind of variations you are looking for.
From what you've typed, you'll taking anything besides the exchange. Well in that case, go to some opening database and do research or buy a book.
I already have one of those, but I want other player's ideas!
watch database then... But why not reading again and understanding better the ideas in your book? If u are 1600 here, u must have missed some ideas inside.
I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO PLAY AGAINST 1.d4!!
u said on another topic u had a mentor, why not asking him?
We told u what to do, it seems u dont want to use them, well, why asking advice then?
No need to shout.
My metor's not an expert on the grunfeld, and I get a little starstruck when trying to talk to other GM's

there is no point in playing grunfeld unless you are a 2300 player
The usual drivel. Is he going to be using the Gruenfeld against 2300 players? No. So the Gruenfeld is perfectly fine.
I play Grunfeld exactly because it is too much theory to learn on my level. At under 1900 I know white had the same problem, and is most probably not fully prepared to play a watertight Grunfeld. Meanwhile I at least get more experience playing more and more games with this opening which gives me some advantage.

An "oldie but goodie" I presume? I went ahead and bought this based on your recommendation. I've played the Gruenfeld on and off (mostly off) but need a serious weapon against 1.d4 in engines-on correspondence on another server. Because I have played it in the past I have already have another "oldie but goodie" in my library:

First, let's see a normal grunfeld
The exchange grunfeld is what I'm most interested in
The exchange grunfeld I don't need help with, but I want ideas for both colors if there is no exchange grunfeld
