3.f3 Against the King's Indian and Grünfeld

MoveTrainer® Opening course by GM Pier Luigi Basso & by GM Alexey Dreev

Flatten Black's Feistiest Defenses with the Center Bulldozer “Pawn to f3”

Bankrupt the "high-risk, high-reward" pawn storm of the King's Indian. Slay the Grünfeld theoretical monster. With a simple push of your f-pawn, you carve out a fortress in the center. One where your grip on the center beats Black’s frantic attempts at recall!

Does your heart sink at the sight of …Nf6 and …g6?

You’ve probably experienced this. You gain a massive space advantage, activate your pieces, and build the picture-perfect position…

Then comes that dreaded …f7-f5 attack by the King’s Indian, checkmating your king in short order!

Or maybe it’s the Grünfeld’s mind-boggling branching factor — demanding cold, precise moves that don’t click with the way you think.

But what if you could cut through Black's tactics and tricks... so when the smoke clears, your iron-clad central control is the only thing that counts?

Grandmasters Alexey Dreev and Pier Luigi Basso show you exactly how — starting with “pawn to f3” on move 3.

3.f3 vs fianchetto defenses

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3!

Your new weapon against Black’s

hypermodern defenses

Just like that, you’re all but guaranteed dominance versus the “pure” Grünfeld move order.

3.f3 vs Grunfeld, no …c5 break

By playing f2-f3 and holding back your b1-knight, the

Grünfeld lacks the firepower to break down your center.

3.f3 vs Grunfeld, stabilize then attack

A few stabilizing moves later, you’re

now ready to attack the kingside!

Did Black hold back their d-pawn, hoping for a “pure” King’s Indian slugfest? Tough luck, because your natural setup leaves their …f7-f5 attack swinging at empty air!

3.f3 vs KID

Black gets their …f7-f5 break

but you get the attack

Without Black’s signature …f7-f5 strike, they’re stuck turtling within the first 3 ranks — forced to babysit a weak, backward d-pawn!

3.f3 vs KID, engine’s best line

You know Black is in trouble when

the computer must settle for a

strategically busted position!

Of course, you can count on Black to muddy the waters. They will shuffle move orders and try different pawn breaks. They will twist their pieces into knots in a desperate search for counterplay.

But you don’t sweat it, because…
