description: The Grnfeld is one of the most topical openings in modern chess practice. Many club players fear it and top GMs often struggle to get an advantage when facing it as White. But is it really a theoretically sound defense? In this third and final volume of the acclaimed Wojos Weapons series IM Dean Ippolito and NM Jonathan Hilton claim to have found a sure route to an advantage against this opening. Building on the repertoire of the late GM Aleksander Wojtkiewicz the authors reveal the fruits of a combined 35 years of Grnfeld analysis in the first 200 pages. Hilton himself a Grnfeld player admits that Ippolitos pet variation with the surprising 10.Qc2!? sets Black nearly insolvable problems in the open lines. Much more than a Grnfeld monograph however Wojos Weapons III provides in-depth coverage of other pesky openings such as the Dutch the Old Indian and the Hedgehog arming you with the knowledge needed to turn the tables on your opponent and take him out of his comfort zone. No matter what openings they play chessplayers at any skill level can use Ippolito and Hiltons full-game coverage in Wojos Weapons III as a series of practical lessons in strategic chess. This ambitious repertoire project for White which started with the 2009 release of the first volume of Wojos Weapons is now complete.
