    Данная монография посвящена одному из наиболее актуальных дебютов - защите Грюнфельда. Эта защита введена в турнирную практику австрийским гроссмейстером Э. Грюнфельдом в 1922 году, то есть спустя год после появления защиты Алехина; по своим идеям обе защиты имеют много общего. Этот дебют в наши дни прочно вошел в репертуар сильнейших шахматистов мира. Настоящая работа ставит своей целью обобщить практический материал самого последнего времени и дать отдельным продолжениям новую оценку. В книгу включены также анализы М. Ботвинника, подготовленные им для соревнований, но так и не использованные в практической борьбе, - они публикуются впервые.  В соответствии с историческим развитием защиты Грюнфельда в данной монографии прежде всего выделены пять основных систем, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на главы и самостоятельные варианты. В конце книги приводятся пояснительные партии. В работе широко использованы последние изыскания ведущих советских и зарубежных шахматистов, которые обогатили защиту Грюнфельда новыми стратегическими идеями. В конце книги читатель найдет пояснительные партии, подробно прокомментированные экс-чемпионом мира М. Ботвинником. Книга рассчитана на шахматистов высокой квалификации.
