I am losing a lot in the grunfeld as black. What should I do?

a) learn the grunfeld as black
b) stop playing the grunfeld as black
Because 2200s know a lot of opening theory and especially the Grunfeld. And they're supposed to be quite powerful.
And anyway, someone from India would be more powerful, because they are quite underrated in their ratings but perform much more than their abilities. And remember, Mr. @street_dancer_3D, that 2200 level is an advanced one where one wins by making plans on what to play. Thats the saucy reply, @street_dancer_3D :)

you are ovestimating the 2200s. We dont play that good and dont know a lot of opening theory. You have to realise that grunfeld is not the thing that everyone plays.
2200 is not the level where one wins by making plans on what to play. In online games you can literally win a game while you are taking a dump in the bathroom.
Slightly better player than I so grain of salt but what is your loss rate as black in the Gruenfeld? Looking statistically is the best way to understand this the Gruenfeld is known to be very double edged.
