Jul-27-04  ArturoRivera: I really like the way Grunfeld beated the stonewall formation of Jhoner, and the way he sacrificed pieces to open the lines for the advanced pawns, it was clearly obvious that black took a very pasive attitude, it cant be categorized as Zuswang, but it is almost there.

  Tabanus: Black here is Walter John, while the game Grünfeld-Johner is not yet in the database.

Or so it seems.
