The Grunfeld Defense is not only one of the most popular but also one of the best chess openings for Black against 1.d4. It's characterized by the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 .
Many lines in the Grunfeld Defense promise Black more active play than in most other openings. Black is able to enter unbalanced positions which allow him to aim for more than just equality, and fight for a win.
The Grunfeld Defense been frequently played by the best grandmasters of the past - Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov (in their many World Championship Matches against each other), Bobby Fischer (famously in his Game of the Century), Alexey Shirov.
The Grunfeld remains popular today and is played by nearly all the leading grandmasters - Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Peter Svidler, Vishy Anand, Maxime-Vachier Lagrave, Boris Gelfand and many more.
However, when talking about the Grunfeld Defense, one chess player stands out. Super-GM Peter Svidler is arguably the world's leading expert in the Grunfeld Defense.
Since the 1990s, the eight-time Russian Chess Champion has contributed plenty of ideas and variations to the development of the Grunfeld Defense. Peter himself calls the Grunfeld his pet opening and has never abandoned it as one of his main weapons with Black against 1.d4 for more than 20 years. He constantly plays this opening against the world's best players - with tremendous success.
So, who better to learn this opening from than the chess heavyweight Peter Svidler (2756 Elo)?
In this video, a free preview from Svidler's full course on the Grunfeld, Peter focuses on the Exchange variation. It arises after the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3.
Black's plan is to undermine White’s central pawns. The Grunfeld Defense is a hypermodern chess opening. This means that Black does not try to control the center early on with his pawns but spends some time on fianchettoing his dark-squared bishop and only then attacks the center with his pieces.

Thank you
8:28 (Effects of 30-40 lines forced draw):
"It was unbearable, I could not sleep at all."
No he was talking about the line he invented during jetlag, not the forced 30+ move draw
@@ezraarief3827 Thanks for demonstrating that my joke was not understood at all for 2 months.
What if white takes on c5 many time in video
I haven't actually started the video so i could be wrong, but generally white shouldn't take c5 because the bishop on g7 become incredibly powerful and the c5 pawn for white isn't the healthiest pawn.
White can captures on c5, but this line is favor for Black because, the pawn struture in the center is broke and the c5 and C3 pawn are weak and easy for Black to block and captures this pawns in the end game, Black gains Lot of activite on the Black squares in the center gives to Black a Nice positional and dynamic advantages.
Is a common Gruenfeld motif, if white captures c5, the pawn mass is broken up and not only are lines opened up for Black, every pawn becomes a potential target. White wants to advance in a meaningful way, not play for open lines. Of course, White has to be aware of the exception to what I just described, but it happens rarely.
what you will understand if someone will explain like this way?there are some commentators for whom i have to skip tournaments to look ahead
Uh uh uh uh
