Here we see a convincing win against the Grand Prix Attack from my colleague Steve. He's had plenty of practice against me over the last 3 or 4 years, so I somewhat pitied his opponent! Having played the Grand Prix attack quite a bit myself I feel that White simply wasn't agressive enough in this game after 13.Qf2? Nd4 and White is on the back foot. I will perform some analysis on Fritz and post my comments.
From what I understand, these positions need to be double edged. I like to think that I gave Black more of a game in the Grand Prix attack in my recent club game (see my next post).
