It is a good idea to play an opening with white and black but hardly the
grunfeld pawn structure.

First of all black has no problems after Nf3,g3,d4 because the c-Pawn is often
still on c7. Therefore black can also play c6 with full equality and good
chances later on.

The grunfeld with black is a daring opening. Today you cant play it with sucess
unless you know almost everything.
There are a lot of Variations to study and IMO its not worth the effort.
