Sep-10-06    WTHarvey: Here is a little collection of puzzles from D82 miniatures: http://www.wtharvey.com/d82.html Mar-02-09    FiveofSwords: for me playing the gruenfeld, this line was always one of the most terrifying things to see from white. I hated playing against this. White can proceed modestly, but completely without compromise or concession, and just grind you down mercilessly while you have no conceivable method to play actively that is halfway sound. Apr-28-09    TheChessGuy: <FiveofSwords> Have you ever tried the Brinckmann Attack? 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 c5!? It takes the game into sharper, more tactical territory. White is not as able to put the grind on your position, which is always good. Check out the 1986 Kasparov-Karpov World Championship Match, London/Leningrad for some examples of this line, and the closely related Hungarian Attack in the Three Knights. Today, 4.Bf4 is starting to become uncommon, as it is considered to be somewhat drawish. From the statistics above, the game is drawn eleven percent more of the time than White wins.
