The Grünfeld asks you to trust activity before comfort. You let White claim central space, then prove that its pawns can become targets. Learn the 10 guide lines, drill the moments where that counterplay begins, then play six Black-side scenarios against the bot.
Ten lines, one at a time: six you play as Black, four as White. Step through the moves and read the comment as the position changes. Finish a line and its checkmark stays in your browser.
Keyboard: ← → step through the moves. Click any move chip to jump.
Where this comes from: every line, drill position, and quoted engine number comes from our Grünfeld Defense guide. The five Test Yourself positions include +0.23 after Rc1 in the Exchange line and -3.51 after the 6.Nxd5 piece-drop.
This is the board work. Twenty positions cover book moves, plans, traps, punishments, structure, and endgame echoes. The queue is shuffled each run, so you answer the position in front of you rather than a remembered order. Click or drag a piece to move. Hints lead to the answer, and your score, streak, and solved drills stay in this browser.
Keyboard: Enter next drill · H hint · R reset the position.
Now test the idea under pressure. Choose a variation, set the bot strength from the named levels or the 600 to 2500 Elo slider, and play Black. The coach calls out guide positions as they arise. Review the game when it ends.
Six positions from the guide, each with a concrete asset to protect or attack. Choosing one starts the game from that variation's position.
Four directions, each with a reason. Everything below links to a page that exists today.
