Beating the Grunfeld with 4. Bg5 line
FM Jesse Noel Sales: SOLID PREPARATION
8/10/2022 – FM Jesse Noel Sales consistent opening preparation and solid play showed how to handle the 4. Bg5 line against the Grunfeld Defense. It is one of many sub-lines to deviate from the main variation. Black’s 17…b6 move suddenly collapses black’s position.
The 2nd featured game is played at chess.com. I played a strong blitz player in an exhibition game for 3 minutes. Black’s 16…Bd7 move is a mistake, but I missed the follow-up move 17. d5. But enjoy your hot and delicious coffee first..

1st Game : Check diagram below (GAME VIEWER 1)
White game plan: Control the center then take-over black's queenside
GM Richard Bitoon is known as an attacking player. My best asset is preparation, checking opponent's games in Chessbase and other sources. White's opening set-up is solid and has unpredictable ideas to occupy black's queenside.

White Game Plan: Same idea to penetrate the c7 square
My opponent at chess.com is a fast blitz player. This is our first time to play and there are similarities with my game vs GM Richard Bitoon. Black's 16... Bd7 move is not preferred move but 16...Be4 is best.
