Overview

Bogo-Indian Defense: Grünfeld Variation is a specific line in the Indian Defenses family (ECO E11), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

It is reached after 7 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Bb4+ 4. Nbd2.

The line refines Bogo-Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
