If you want to understand an opening, you have to know its typical ideas and plans. Knowledge of variations also helps. But that is not enough. You should also be familiar with the typical tactical motifs of an opening. This trio of strategy, variations and tactics creates a store of patterns that helps you find the right moves. Grünfeld is an active opening that often leads to sharp, tactically accentuated play, and therefore the tactics part of the Grünfeld pattern store is extremely important and should be developed continuously. The most effective and proven way to train tactical ingenuity and the ability to calculate variations is to regularly solve tactics problems. “Not a day without tactics training” should be the motto of the dedicated chess player. The 69 tactics problems on this DVD come from grandmaster games and show tactical ideas that are typical of the Grünfeld Defense. The tasks are arranged in order of difficulty: starting with simple positions where the solution is almost obvious, and ending with positions where even top grandmasters had difficulty finding the right move on the board (a good opportunity to test your skills and discover the beauty of hidden combinations). It's worth it!
