Grivas provides a full and detailed repertoire for White against five important openings: the Grünfeld, King's Indian, Benoni, Benko and Modern. In each case, he has recommended a line in which he has a wealth of experience, and has played a significant personal role in developing over many years:
King's Indian: 4 e4 d6 5 Nf3 0-0 6 h3
Grünfeld: 4 Nf3 Bg7 5 Bg5
Benko: 4 Nf3
Benoni: 6 e4 g6 7 Nf3 Bg7 8 h3
Modern: 1 d4 g6 2 c4 Bg7 3 Nf3
The recommendations are geared towards posing Black unconventional problems: your opponents will not be able to churn out lengthy memorized variations, but will need to solve problems at the board in positions that are somewhat different in character from those normally reached in these openings. Grivas has also chosen the repertoire so that it forms a seamless whole, and will fit alongside an English or Réti move-order, in addition to a standard 1 d4 repertoire.
This is an unusually deeply researched and creative repertoire book. Grivas reveals many 'secret' ideas and gives abundant strategic guidance on how to handle the middlegame positions that result.

Introduction

This book was written with the purpose of offering a complete and detailed repertoire for White against five important openings involving the fianchetto of Black's dark-squared bishop on g7. These openings are the King's Indian Defence, the Grünfeld Defence, the Modern Benoni, the Benko/Volga Gambit and the Modern Defence. Sidelines of these openings and possible transpositions to other opening set-ups were also taken into account.
In each case I have recommended a system in which I have a wealth of experience and have played a significant personal role in its development throughout the years, either as a player or as a trainer - or both! The recommendations are geared towards posing Black unconventional problems. Your opponents will not be able to churn out lengthy memorized variations but will need to solve problems at the board, in positions that are somewhat different in character from those normally reached in the openings under discussion. I have also selected the Systems within the reperin such a way that they form a seamless whole and are also reachable by an English (1 c4) or Reti (1 Nf3) move-order in addition to the Standard 1 d4.
The book in front of you is the fruit of several years of both practical experience and theoretical research. I have tried to describe the suggested systems in detail, giving my assessments as clearly and responsibly as possible, and have generally aimed to provide useful guidelines.
As I wrote in my last theory book, A Complete Guide to the Grivas Sicilian, "many things in chess theory, as in life, are relative and a matter of taste. Actually there are no 'good' or 'bad' openThere are openings that you know and understand, and openings that you do not know and do not understand." Thus, I believe that my recommended systems offer a lot of possibilities, new ideas and practical benefits, aspects that should not be underestimated in modern chess. Among other things, I have tried to make them 'understandable' to you.
The book's main purpose is to 'train' and educate the reader in territory that is 'unknown' to him. We must not forget that this is a theory book, where concrete reaction to the opponent's moves is of primary importance. General principles and plans do merit a place in this project but, in my opinion, move-by-move consideration is most significant.
It is not necessary to memorize all the variations and moves mentioned in the book. That is practically impossible! But then, you may ask, what is the reason for someone to deal with a theory book, one that he does not need to memorize in full? The theory of 'subconscious education' will help us answer this question. By playing through the moves and variations in the book, our subconprocesses and stores similar motifs, repeated moves and plans, and also 'learns' to avoid traps and unwelcome positions. Such proper 'subconscious memorization' will, at the critical moment, enforce the correct choice upon us.
Many of the opening books I have read mainly focus on the general characteristics of the openor the variation in question and much less so on move-by-move theory. This can lead to unresolved questions in the reader's mind, and the danger that he will mix things up at moments when it is necessary to find one specific concrete move or sequence. The recommended repertoire is that of a grandmaster, without any omissions or hidden secrets. On the contrary, it contains a great number of new, deeply analysed suggestions.
Let us not forget that the basic characteristics of the openings do not frequently undergo radical changes. On the other hand, the development of move-by-move theory is explosive. Every chess-player stands on the shoulders of the chess-player who came before him. Every generation of good chess-players learns from and builds upon the experience and creativity of the previous generations. The chess-player of the year 2005 has encountered more types of positions than the chess-player of 1975 and knows the proper ways to deal with these positions. Therefore, a chess-player today would have a great advantage over a chess-player (even one of equal or greater talent) of 30 years ago, simply because he could play the opening with deeper understanding; this understanding is offered to him by the multitude of deeply analysed variations.
In no occasion do I underestimate the necessity and value of learning the general characteristics and plans of each opening or variation. However, I do strongly believe that move-by-move theory and its (at least) subconscious absorption are necessary in order to survive in the labyrinth of the chess openings.
One question often posed by my students is whether we must simultaneously prepare two or more different systems against an opening. My personal opinion is that only professional grandmasters can afford this luxury. All other chess-players should focus on one specific system every time, so as to specialize in it and reap maximum benefit. Only if this choice eventually proves undesirable should one change his systems. As Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "I guess really good soldiers are really good at very little else."
The massive development of theory in all openings has clarified that White cannot hope for anything more than a slight advantage, but in some cases even this is unattainable! My recommendations are based on a healthy approach to the five openings covered in the book. A common thread running across all these systems is the desire to obtain a spatial advantage and then to make use of it. Although this book is not devoid of sharp, tactical lines, good positional handling is the main requirement of the resulting positions.
I must clarify that I took the liberty of changing the original move-order of many games. In this way it was possible to provide clearer coverage and guidance. Of course, the way you reach a certain position is important, but equally important is to examine how you want to proceed upon reaching it. True value comes from knowing what to keep and what to throw away.
Significant help in the preparation of this book was provided by Sotiris Logothetis. I would like to thank him for his trust and his valuable help.

"Die Fianchetto-Verteidigungen beEin herausforderndes Repergegen fünf Königsfianchetto-Verteidigungen": ein vielverspreTitel, welcher den Führern der weißen Steine Hoffnungen damachen soll, die modernen schwarzen Lg7-Aufbauten erfolgbekämpfen zu können. Das bei diesem löblichen Unterfangen sehr oft nicht mehr herauskommt als das übliche "+=", weiß natürlich auch der gleichermaßen als aktiver SpieTurnierorganisator, Schiedsrichund Schachbuchautor hocherfahgriechische GM Efstratios Grivas.
Gleichwohl macht er auf routinierte Art und Weise den Leser mit seinem eigenen Weiß-Repertoire gegen diese schwarzen Aufstellungen bekannt. Dabei bleibt der formale Aufbau der einzelnen Abschnitte des Buches imgleich: zuerst eine historische Partie, dann einige Beispiele typiEndspielstrukturen, anschließend die theoretischen Abhandlunund am Schluss einige modellPartien aus der Meisterpraxis. Nach diesem Schema stellt der Aufolgende Eröffnungen vor:
1) Grünfeld-Indisch (S. 10-55): hier empfiehlt Grivas die Zugfolge 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 g6 3.Sc3 d5 4.Lg5, wooft mit 4...Se4 wird (hier wer15 Partien ausführlicher vorgeund weitere 101 (!!) in Kurzim Verlauf des theoretischen Textes),
2) Benkö/Wolga-Gambit (S. 56.85): Grivas lehnt dieses ab mittels 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 c5 3d5 b5 4.Sf3 und erörtert die Fortsetzungen 4...b4/4...Lb7/4...b:c4/4...g6 sowie das Blu(7 Partien + 32).
3) Moderne Verteidigung (S. 86-104): auch hier ist Solidität gefragt mit 1.d4 g6 2.c4 Lg7 3.Sf3, wobei Schwarz oft mit 3...d6 antwortet, aber auch 3...f6/3...e6/3...b6/3...f5/ 3...Sc6/3...c6 spielen kann (6 Partien +31).
4) Modernes Benoni (S. 105-138): dieser aggressiven Spielweise begegnet Grivas mit dem h3/Ld3-System, welches aus den späten 1980er-Jahren stammt. Die Analysen nach 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Sc3 e:d5 5.c:d5 beziehen sich vor allem auf „Snake Benoni" (mit ...Ld6 - Lc7 - Lb6 oder La5), auf die Vari5...d6 6.e4 g6 7.Sf3 a6 8.a4 Lg4 und auf das Haupt-Abspiel 7...Lg7 8.h3 0-0 9.Ld3 mit und ohne 9...b5 (6 Partien + weitere 91(!)).
5) Königsindisch (S. 139-188): der dickste Brocken kommt zum Schluss, und wiederum lautet der Rat des Autors h3! Also: 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 g6 3.Sc3 Lg7 4.e4 d6 5.Sf3 0-0 6.h3. Grivas geht hier auf frühes ...Sbd7 ein, auf schwarze Abweiim 5. Zug (5...e5?!/ 5... Sc6?!/5...Sbd7/5...a6/5...e5/5...Sa6), auf 5...Lg4, auf die Abtauschvariante und natürlich auf die Haupt8...e5 7.d5 mit den Folgezü7...Sh5/7...Se8/7...Sa6/7...a5 8.Lg5 Sa6 9.Sd2 h6 10.Le3 Sc5 (9 Partien + 64).
Summa summarum ein höchst funeröffnungstheoretisches Werk, welche eine beträchtliche Menge an Beispielmaterial enthält - neben vielen Partie-Ausschnitten auch nicht weniger als 362 vollstänMeisterpartien! Wer also die Eröffnungsvorlieben des fleißigen und soliden Hellenen teilt, weiß sich mit Grivas neuem Buch bestens bezudem benötigt er kaum Engda sich die verbalen Erklärungen (leider) in einem höchst überschaubaren Rahmen bewegen.
