| Shah Mat: as far as i understand it (which isn't very far in QP games) the reason the QGA is so good for white is because the pawn is too much trouble to hold on to. I came upon this game looking for ways to get the pawn back, so if i find a line that looks good, i'll post it here =) |

| acirce: You're not supposed to hold on to it. White easily wins it back, Black shouldn't even try. Still it is a sound opening for Black, he usually gets no particular problems with development or structural weaknesses, but there often occurs these typical positions where White gets an isolated d-pawn and gets space advantage and some initiative in return. |

| Jaymthegenius: Greco play's the Queens gambit so bad! 6.b3 is a huge error! and 6...cxb3 wins for black! 8.d5 waste time, better is 8.Nf3,e6 9.Bf4,Nc6 10.Bd3 and white has much better chances then Greco vs. NN, 1620, QGA |

| sneaky pete: <Jaymthegenius> 6.b3.. is the thematic move. Please explain how 6... cxb3 7.Bxb5+ .. wins for black. |
 |

| Jaymthegenius: 7...Bd7 8.Bxd7+,Qxd7 |

| sneaky pete: If 6... cxb3 7.Bxb5+ Bd7 8.Qxb3 .. with a clear white advantage. |

| Milo: pete, I have my doubts, as black has the passed a-pawn. Try 8...Bxb5 9.Qxb5+ Qd7. Are there any direct tactical shots? |

| Jaymthetactician: Black should have won this! Greco doesnt know how to play the queens gambit correctly, I'd play as black 9...Bd6 10.Nf3,Nf6 11.Be2,Nd7 . |

| aw1988: Bd6 is horrible positionally. Try 10. c5 for starters. |
 |
| Jul-18-05 |
| Jaymthetactician: maybe so, but after the best moves after 10.c5,Bxc5 11.Nf3,Bd7 12.Be2 and black still stands better. |
