Brinckmann Attack | Grünfeld Defense Opening Theory

The Brinckmann Attack is a sideline white could choose if he wishes to play a game outside of the main Grünfeld theory.
The move Bf4 goes against white’s common plans against the Grünfeld Defense. Instead of going for a broad center with e4, this move prepares the less ambitious e3, closing the position down and solidifying his d4 square with e3, and his c4 pawn with the f1 bishop. Hence the move Bf4. White makes sure to get his bishop outside of the pawn chain before playing e3.
The good news for black is that he has three different options against the Brinckmann Attack. Black is the one choosing the nature of the position.
The three possible moves are:
5...0-0 The Grünfeld Gambit is the main line and probably the best move. It leads to sharp, double-edged, theoretical positions in which black gives up a pawn (hence the name). In compensation, black gets a really active position and three weaknesses to exploit on white’s queenside. I consider 0-0 to be the best and easiest to play.
5...c5 is the most theory heavy move. In the two main lines following c5, the theory goes almost 25 moves deep. If you play c5, be prepared to learn a lot. You simply have to play the best or the only moves sometimes or you will be worse. Not for the lazy Grünfeld player!
5...c6 is the least active continuation. It leads to more solid and less aggressive middlegames in which the normal Grünfeld attacks don’t really exist. Play it if you are unfamiliar with the theory in the opening. The positions are going to be easy to play and familiar as they can occur out of several different d4, Nf3 or even c4 openings.

For a while that looked like "oh, a calm positional d4-ish approach against the Grunfeld!"... until that was followed with 25 moves deep in sharp theory. Great overview video, though I won't be taking up this highly theoretical line :)

You almost have me convinced to change my repitore to where this is my main defense against d4...waiting for the the Russian system though to make the decision

18:10 5 …0-0 Grünfeld Gambit

[@pat-9443]

18:10 0-0 main line

[@Gqtor]

At 14:58, if you were wondering why Kxd8 doesn't work since the queen defends e5 at the moment, white can play b4!!, deflecting the queen. If Qc7 still defending e5, Rxd4!!, which cannot be taken by the e5 pawn because of the pin on the newly-placed queen on c7 on the e5 pawn by the h2 bishop.

20:27 - so the "pawn sandwich" is in this opening. I understand now. Lol.

[@katewrightsings]

What does it mean when white plays 6. Qd2. Preparing to 0-0-0?

[@notnotcharles3022]

The queen needs to move out of the way to allow queen side castles

[@krishnakantpandey2283]

Do you plan on having a series on London system in the near future?

[@ALF8892]

16:51 why can't black play Qc5 protecting e5?
