Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 192 pages with diagrams and indexes. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. First American edition. The Grünfeld Defence (ECO codes D70D99) is a chess opening characterised by the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5. Black offers White the possibility of 4.cxd5, which may be followed by 4.Nxd5 and 5.e4, giving White an imposing central pawn duo. If White does not take the d5-pawn, Black may eventually play .dxc4, when a White response of e4 again leads to the same pawn structure. In classical opening theory this imposing pawn centre was held to give White a large advantage, but the hypermodern school, which was coming to the fore in the 1920s, held that a large pawn centre could be a liability rather than an asset. The Grünfeld is therefore a key hypermodern opening, showing in stark terms how a large pawn centre can either be a powerful battering ram or a target for attack. Condition: Light stain to front cover else very good. Seller Inventory # BOOKS000819
