Theory
(a)Grunfeld TWIC 909-912
White has shown no threatening ideas in the battle against the Grunfeld. The most important ideas are for black.
-Ponomariov shows how to play for a win with queens on against the 7.Be3 exchange variation by avoiding ...Qa5
-Negi shows black is fine in Avrukh's 10.Re1 g3(D76) line in a deep theory duel
-Svidler shows how to hold with 7...a6 against the Russian System(8.Be2) as proposed in Kaufman's Repertoire for Black and White(New in Chess 2012).
(b)Caro-Kann Defence
This solid defence is exploding in popularity. The key games of Karpov, Dreev and Dautov are examined to give a repertoire for black. Coverage includes
-4..Bf5 and 4..Nd7
-Advance variation(4.Nc3 and 4.Nf3), Panov and Exchange
File is being tested now.
