3...d5 · Goglidze attack
[edit | edit source]Black continues playing in a Grünfeld style. The immediate 4. e4? prepared by f3 would simply blunder the pawn, so White should either remove one of Black's attackers or prepare it with another piece.
White's main move is 4. cxd5, exchanging in the center. This is different from the usual Grünfeld since after 4...Nxd5 5. e4 Black's knight doesn't have the option of taking on c3, so it must move to b6 or f6 (b6 being the better option). Play usually continues with Black castling short and White developing the queenside pieces and castling long.
Alternatively, White can play 4. Nc6 transposing into the Lutikov variation of the Grünfeld.
