Thanks great vid, I really like this line from black as my kings indian is not working very well! at 4:05, what about if after …c5, white advances his pawn to d5? I realise this opens up the long diagonal but is that a major problem for white? as he gains a tempo because of the c3 knight being attacked? Id like another vid showing some more variations if possible… thanks kevin

Hello good sir! Thank you for posting this video, and for you concise explanation of the Grunfeld. If I may, I wish to challenge you to further explain how White is BETTER in the “Grunfeld Gambit” line. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 0-0!? 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Nxd5 Qxd5 8.Bxc7 Na6! Black is way ahead in development after a move like 9.Bg3 Bf5 followed by…Rac8 when ALL of Black’s pieces are developed and White’s King is still stuck in the center! So, how is White better here?

at the beginning most chess players, would not let white take his knight like that

At 4:36 Isn’t Bg4 more common than Qc7?

Your videos have honestly gotten me back into chess. Every chess book I have that I didn’t read or half-know the moves you elucidate better than any text could, and also go through each variant.
In my mind I always think “but what if this was played instead,” and you answer that, multiple ways.
