The Anti-Grünfeld is an extremely sharp opening which gets black out of his normal Grünfeld comfort zone and theory. White has one strategy when he employs it; checkmate!

If you are struggling against the Grünfeld defense and don’t have a variation you know well and like playing, the f3 madness might be just what you were looking for. The opening is very aggressive and simple to learn. It’s a setup for white, rather than a series of moves you have to learn. White develops and castles queenside. And tries to checkmate. It’s as simple as that!

Black, on the other hand, has a plan similar to what he does in the Dragon Sicilian, a queenside counter attack. Both kings are unsafe. Both flanks usually get blown open. There is no time to waste, and whoever is faster wins. A fun opening to play in which a draw is highly unlikely to happen.

If you are looking for a dangerous weapon to add to your d4 repertoire, the f3 Anti-Grünfeld is perfect.

A thing to keep in mind is that you could enter the Samisch King’s Indian Defense if black plays Bg7 instead of d5. Be prepared for that and study the theory in the variation. That is the only deviation you could face after 3. f3. Good luck playing the Anti-Grünfeld!
