Dec-17-04		Knight13: So how dose Greco win this game?

Dec-17-04		Sneaky: Two extra pawns?

Dec-17-04		Knight13: If it's because of two extra pawns, then Black resigned too early.

Feb-18-05		CHEG: Maybe Black resigned because white had a passed pawn. Technically I believe it's a won game but there's enough material on the board for something to wrong to happen to white, at least the way I play.

Feb-18-05		schnarre: After White deploys the Queen Knight & brings his Rook out to play, his central pawn majority should carry the day.

Feb-18-05		JustAFish: This is one of those Greco games that looks as if it could be real. Most good players would resign in black's final position.

Feb-18-05		schnarre: <JustAFish> True enough!

Feb-18-05		InspiredByMorphy: Black resigned because white is up two pawns with no weaknesses to attack. Not to mention white will have no difficulty developing the remaining pieces and blacks king is exposed. 12.Nxg4 was quite the move!

Feb-18-05		schnarre: <InspiredByMorphy> Certainly an audacious move!

Nov-09-05		RC Cookie Dough: InspiredByMorphy, it doesn't matter that black's king is exposed in this position. White has a winning advantage and he's a strong enough player not to screw it up. Resigning here is the polite thing to do.

Nov-09-05		RC Cookie Dough: I'd like to add that although it was the polite thing to do, it was probably a little early. Even against Greco I would have played until the passed pawn was obviously unstoppable.

Jan-11-06		schnarre: I would have played it out till it ended, but that's me (too stubborn for my own good).

Jan-12-06		morpstau: The resignation is indeed not premature but a modern timesaving decision.

Jan-20-06		schnarre: True enough!
