Hey, i aslo had the same Problem until i started playing the sveschnikov, a opening which gives u a slight positional disadvantage (hole on d5) but good counterplay without being to sharp, like other sicilians (najdorf, dragon).
I also play the Grünfeld and i think if you like the Grünfeld you will like the Sveschinkov too.
And if you study the sveschnikov white has to play a sequence of forced moves to keep the upper hand if white doesnt play 6. Ndb5 hes already worse in most cases, after you play 6. d6 white has to play 7. nd5 or7. Bg5. The problem with this is that there alot of anti sicilians out there. Most of them arent good and black equalizes easily and is most often even better, i mean if my opponent is playing the alapin im just happy that he gives away his advantage. The only problem and Line you have to study seriously is the rossolimo, its almost as common as the 3.d4 these days. But i dont have a problem with it and i think it gives both sides good play.
Hope i could help, try the sveschnikov and tell me how it went
Interesting suggestion. I never really considered it, mainly because I like playing against it as white and somehow sympathise with the white side. Maybe I will try it in some blitz.
I have struggled with anti-Sicilians. However, part of this is because 2... e6 is committal. 2... Nc6 give black much more natural options in the anti-Sicilians.
I think it is good for rapid games, but if white knows his stuff, the positions are too depressing for black.
