Wow this is one of the most underrated content ever, you guys literally gave us a full grunfeld course in one hour for free, shoutout to you!! Thank you so much
Just one thing I wonder. Anish said Indian defenses have one square moves, like e6-d6 and break in the center is only made after castle. While Markus says Grunfeld as Grunfeld Indian where no one square pawn moves(e6,d6) is made, rather an immediate d5.
g6 is a one pawn move. To fianchetto the king side bishop and so it fits in with the Indian defences. Also, it was first played by an Indian in 1855 so there.
@@aswinnarayanan2948 okay okay e6 d6 g6 b6 are the moves. But I'll call it Grunfeld only because it's so much different from other Indian openings against d4.

Interesting question!
g6 is a one pawn move. To fianchetto the king side bishop and so it fits in with the Indian defences. Also, it was first played by an Indian in 1855 so there.
@@aswinnarayanan2948 okay okay

I think Indian defences are those where 1) d4 Nf6 and 2) ... g6 or 2) ... e6 is played.
