 | | whiteshark: <7.Bxg8> and <8.d4> look even better. |
 |
| Jun-26-08 | | t3hPolak: I wonder who this individual was that Greco smashed, lol? |
|
| Jun-26-08 | | TommyC: Not quite <whiteshark> since Greco was born ten years later in 1600. |

| | whiteshark: <TommyC> Holy smoke! Do you think that it's a <prenatal> game? |
|
| Jun-27-08 | | TommyC: Yes, <whiteshark>, yes I do. |
|
| Aug-10-08 | | just a kid: I think the losing move is 2...Qf6! |
|
| Oct-10-08 | | AhmetMTF: Let me leave my first, rather simple, comment on this game: If Kxg4 or Kh4: Qh3++ or if Kh6: Nf7++ (The second one is cooler.) |

 | | DarthStapler: Greco must have been the greatest player of all time - he never lost a game :p |
|
| Oct-11-08 | | GannonKnight: Greco really must have NN's number. |
|
| Feb-12-09 | | eternaloptimist: LOL! :D, :D ... :D The moral of this story is don't move out your Q too early in the game (unless there is a very good reason for doing so). <GannonKnight: Greco really must have NN's number.> LOL! Actually, it means: "Nescio Nomen, a Latin phrase meaning name unknown. It has been customary to use N.N. for the given name of an unknown person". I used chess.com's definition for NN. |

| Oct-22-09 | | Wayne Proudlove: I think I may have found what I'm looking for in these games of Greco's and plan to spend a week or so of serious analysis on them and will surely come out of the experience a much stronger player. |

 | | Bishoprick: NN lived a really long time, possibly longer than Noah. Everyone had his number, and he may never have won a game. Very sad. :-( |

| Jul-14-10 | | zanshin: <MM won quite a few games> Make that NN. |

 | | David2009: High-class defence by NN (5...Ke7 avoiding 5...Kxf7?). The ever-resilent EGT prefers 5...Kd8 6.Nxe5 Ne7 7.d4 Nbc6 8.Nxc6+ Qxc6 to reach

Against a human player I would play on, against the EGT I am happy to rest on my laurels - for now. Crafty End Game Trainer link to the earlier position (White to play move 5):

Enjoy playing and beating the EGT - if you can! |

| Nov-15-11 | | AnalyzeThis: 2.... Qf6 isn't wonderful, but it might be a ballgame if you play 3... d6 and 4.... Be6, instead of moving your queen every change you get. |

| Jan-24-12 | | Knight13: The real mistake is 4. Qxe4?? |
|
| Apr-06-12 | | kontoleon: he takes 4 opening move to hit a pawn! how deference chess is now... |
