| Bobak Zahmat: NN plays terrible. If you want to deny King's Gambit by Falkbeer Counter Gambit, you should at least know some variations of it. |

| Skylark: Keep in mind that this game was played (or composed) in 1620. That's 375 years ago. :( |

| Flo: Yes, it was 375 years ago, but "NN" played very bad and if he thought a longer time what to play, he hadn't lost after ten moves! |
|

| Jaymthegenius: I have a similiar game to this!
But instead of 6.Kf2 I played 6.Qe2,Qxe2 7.Bxd2,Nf6 and I went on to win. |

| Jaymthegenius: Greco would be so easy for a begginner to defeat! Just play 1.e4,e5 2.f4,d5! 3.exd5,e4 and you have it made in the shade! |

| Leviathan: <Jaymthegenius: Greco would be so easy for a begginner to defeat! Just play 1.e4,e5 2.f4,d5! 3.exd5,e4 and you have it made in the shade!> well,<1.e4,e5 2.f4,d5! 3.exd5,e4> is just the standard way to play the Falkbeer - black has no clear path to victory (just look at the stats: the position after 3. .. e4 doesn't seem a win for black at all - Opening Explorer ) |

| hintza: <Jaymthegenius> The Falkbeer often leads to an interesting game. 19...h6? was an error. 19...Qxe5 20.fxe5 Nd5 21.c4 Nc3 22.a3  is one significant improvement. Also, Black has a sound position after 20...Re8 21.Rxe8+ Nxe8 22.Qe5 Qd1+ 23.Ne1 Nf6, which is probably a draw. Black also has good drawing chances much later by liberating the suicidal knight: 40...Rd2 41.Nf4+ Kf7 etc. |

| Jaymthegenius: damn it! I've never even thought of that! I'll keep that in mind for the next time I go against the falkbeer. |

| InspiredByMorphy: There was nothing more fortunate for Greco than how many times his opponents would play ...Bc5+ after he put his king on f2 in the Kings gambit. Not undermining his strength, just his opponent's in such positions. |
|

| DeepBlade: I really love the way Greco handles this opening, he just mates the one or the other way, with the same pattern. |
|

| Averageguy: <Skylark>385 years ago actually. |

| Chopin: I really enjoy studying Greco's games. I realize that they might be fabricated, but regardless you can learn a lot from them. |

| DeepBlade: How to kill the Falkbeer. |
|
| Feb-05-06 |
| aw1988: The Falkbeer is perfectly sound. |
|
| Feb-04-06 |
| DeepBlade: Not in the hands of NN |
|

| Dodd: Wow! The Falkbeer Countergambit, way back then... Maybe I am displaying my ignorance, but was castling not allowed in those days? What was the black king doing running to f8? |
|
| Mar-17-06 |
| DeepBlade: Black never got the chance to castle, and Kf8 is to avoid the Re1 pin on the Black  |
|
| Mar-19-06 |
| Dodd: Ah right. There I am displaying my ignorance. :-)
So black's mistake was bringing the queen out so early? |
|
| Mar-19-06 |
| DeepBlade: <Dodd> Yes I think so, Black could continue in a relaxed manner like 3. ...e4 or 3. ...exf4 transposing to a Breyer Gambit or the Abbazia Defence.
and even if you choose to take the d-pawn with your you must have 6. ...c6 to prevent the trap as shown in this game. |
|
| Mar-22-06 |
| Dodd: Good lesson for the chess kids. I like it when you can find a clear example of a lesson for them - do not bring your queen out too early! Had the game recently changed the rules for queens? That might explain how excited people got running around with them in those days. :-) |
|
| Mar-22-06 |
| erimiro1: <Bobak Zahmat>...Unless you play it 250 years before Falkbeer "invented" his counter gambit! You can't judge "NN" by 21st. century standards. |
|
| Apr-11-06 |
| MorphyMatt: 6...  c5+?? ouch, black really is an NN |
|
| Apr-28-06 |
| Dodd: Just played the Falkbeer countergambit yesterday in a blitz game against a 2200 player from Poland, who was a bit shocked a patzer like me played it! I still lost, but it was a great game, and he kindly showed me where I went wrong after the game was over. lol |

| wolfmaster: 8...Kd8 wouldn't have been any better, as 9.Re1 still threatens mate on e8. |
