Hi everyone! I recently found something, which is probably bad but still makes me wonder...

What about a e4 gambit in the Grunfeld?

[pgn]1. d4 Ng8f6 2. c4 g6 3. Nb1c3 d5 4. e4[/pgn]

I could not find many games playing it; Fritz doesn't suggest any clear refutation. Main answers might be:

4. ... Nxe4 5. Nxd5.
4. ... dxe4 5. f3 (looks a bit like ...[text shortened]... xe4 5. f3 Bf5 6. g4 ?!

(Fritz suggests many others though)

opinions about this? Thanks!

c5 is a somewhat thematic move in the grunfeld... it's probably a good move! In that case, I think i would play d5, closing the center and therefore enabling further operation on the king side...

Why not a simple 4...dxe4 5.Qc2?

Wouldn't Bf5 be a problem for White?
