The Grand Prix Attack is one of white's most aggressive ways of fighting the Sicilian. It Leads to sharp, Complex battle in which White Often launcehs a direct attack against the black king. The opening has bacome a powerful weapon in the cut and thrust of tournament chess, where victory is everything and draws are not enough. It has even gained the seal of approval from elite players such as Vishy Anand and Nigel Short, who have both utilized it with success. More posts on The GRAND PRIX will be coming shortly.Smile

Yes of course, we can't allow those boring Sicilian players get into those drawish main lines that they crave!

I stopped playing the Grand Prix, a lot of lines I feel give black a nice position leaving white to rot in a dull one.

I've read a couple grand prix books, it's not studied enough to be a good opening for me. Others may feel confortable in the positions, but even 1500's seem to know the good lines so I stopped playing it as an anti-sicilian.
