This is à known variation. D5, cxd5, Nxd5, e4, Nb6, etc... Which becomes messy but is equal

Opening nf3 would get an immediate d5 from à grunfeld player.

Anand played this against Gelfand. Yelena Dembo in her book "Play the Grunfeld" recommends 3...e5.

There are other, maybe better ways to avoid the Gruenfeld

 


White must be ready for a symmetrical english (2...c5), but the anglo-benoni is quite fun so it works out. The Gruenfeld that black can reach in the diagrams I showed is quite pleasant for white. White keeps his nice knight on c3 or black makes big concessions in his king side structure. ''

 everything is very good,but the only problem is that I must learn     English opening also!

I saw that match.But I don't know whether Gelfand played correct or not because in both positions he got worse!
