  aragorn69: This is the game that made the Gruenfeld Variation famous.
Apr-11-04   Bobsterman3000: I bet this caused quite a stir. I heard that Grunfeld once surprised Capablanca with the later-to-be-named Grunfeld opening, causing the Cuban master to throw his king against the wall in anger after losing the match...
Apr-11-04   Benjamin Lau: Actually, it was Alekhine, but I'm not too sure if it really happened. It could be just another myth. Alekhine vs Gruenfeld, 1922
Jan-12-08   Tomlinsky: There's actually an earlier example of an Exchange Gruenfeld, Becker v Gruenfeld Vienna 1921, which I've just uploaded to the database.
