Jul-05-05    Knight13: This is a common opening for people who likes the Grunfeld. It occured few times in my games when I played this opening as Black. Oct-23-05    henderson10: Seems hard to justify exchanging a d-pawn for a b-pawn as black, since there appears to be no real compensation for it. Jul-07-06    themindset: the compensation is an open game with an unobstructed fianchettoed bishop. Oct-29-07    utssb: There is ample compensation. Black's dark-squared Bishop has great influence and White must struggle to retain a solid Pawn structure in the Center. A great deal of pressure is put upon White's d-pawn. There is more than enough counter-play in this variation.
