| kevin86: Note this oddity:no rook ever moved in this game;technically,castling is a king move! White dominated with the minor pieces and queen! |

| SilentWitness: This is one of the oldest gambits in chess, the Greco attack of the Giuoco Piano. |

| bumpmobile: It's amazing the material advantage Black had and still lost. He is up by a pawn and a whole rook. |

| kualle: It is unfortunate, that one cannot see how long time they have been on each move, because, then we could see if Greco was very fantastic at calculating, or he was just weel prepared... |

| InspiredByMorphy: 8. ...Bxc3 would have led to a more interesting game as NN would have forced Greco to justify the pawn sacrifice. Opening Explorer |

| elh: Actually, kualle, historians believe that these games never actually occured. Greco made his living by chess (imagine!) so these games were bascially his advertisements, and we know how reliable advertising is. |

| DeepBlade: Black had an nice attack, and suddenly (with 10.Qb3) the whole game turned!
Black captured the Rook and after a few moves Blacks own Rook was forked (with 19.Qxf6+). The game was in balance, but in my opinion the lack of an defensive (Black) f7 pawn messed up the game for Black. |

| SJP: I wonder how Greco would fare against a Sicilian... |

| jamesmaskell: Greco played in Sicilians in four games and won every one of them, according to the database. |

| who: Greco won every game he played according to the database. It seems many of his games were composed and who knows how many games weren't recorded. |

| AbhinavAsthana: I've heard that 10.Ba3 is a book win. Please, Can anyone explain me how? |

| nescio: <AbhinavAsthana: I've heard that 10.Ba3 is a book win. Please, Can anyone explain me how?> The win is clear after 10...Bxa1: D Heisman vs D Fennick, 1967 But there are some other Black moves after which there is no forced win for White, although he has the better chances. 10...d5 C Corte vs Julio Bolbochan, 1946 10...d6 Sascha Schiffers vs Mi Reinert, 1999 10...Qf6 E H Reinhardt vs A Maccioni, 1946 (11.Rc1! Keres) 10...Ne7 11.Qb3! Keres |

| bakunian: I think after 12...Nxd4 white have no more game. |

| al wazir: I think black wins with 18...Qd6: 19. Bxe7+ Kxe7 20. Qf7+ (20. Bxd5 Rf8) Kd8 21. Qxg7 Rf8. |

| al wazir: <sneaky pete>: Oops. From now on just call me NN. |

| wolfmaster: NN lasted a little longer in this game than in most of the games he plays against Greco. |
|

| laskereshevsky: HELLO
<WOLFMASTER> without polemics, of course, listen me;
"we cant be shore talking about "MISTER NN",
to deal with "HE IS" or "THEY ARE"....isnt it?! |

| gloomunster: These games are probably fabricated, the moves made by his opponents in most of the games are not practical and just happen to be convenient for Greco. In short, they aren't really practical traps. Except for the q Gambit accepted rook sac trap. |

| The beginner: <Bakunian>
..12Nxd4 is meet by 13 Qa3+
White should be winning here.
13 ..Kxf7
14 Bxd8 ..Rxd8
15 Rxa1 ..
Material is even. White has Q for R+B+ 2Pawns. Black is not developed, and his king is wide open. I think with correct play white cant lose this. |

| Wayne Proudlove: This is good one in my opinion, I look forward to studying it this weekend. It's a sad time in my life, things aren't going the way I want them to, I'm actually watching romantic movies and listening to love songs, things about believing and hanging on and all that, well, I'm not too excited about this weekend other than analysing some chess games. |
