Practicing the Grunfeld

Sort:
Avatar of Kraig

I am looking to improve my opening choice as black against 1.d4.
Currently, I play 1.e5 (englund) which works in blitz but isn't a great opening for anything beyond that.

It was recommended to me that I try the Grunfeld, and am looking to practice with it.
It's difficult to drill it in the regular pool, because half the games I am white, and I'd say 70% of the time I'm black, they play 1.e4. So it's difficult to keep up consistency with back to back games.
Happy to play rated but preferably unrated, against someone in the region of 1750-2100.

Happy to analyse with you and/or drill other things against you in return.

Thanks!

I've been playing 1 d4 Nf6 recently and going into either Budapest or Fajarowitz gambits after 2 c4. Had played around with Benko and a few Dutch systems, but I like it spicy and aim to throw off white at the earliest opportunity. But I'm only 1500 rapid.

Thanks for your replies. @kesetokaiba @chessgoalsyoutube Happy to play you guys whenever you have time. Thanks for the recommendations @benhunt72 - I will have to review Farajowitz gambit, it’s not something I know off hand.
