GPA Rehabilitated
What do you think of the move 3 Nf3!? after 1 e4 c5 2 f4 d5. The main idea is to play a reversed Budapest with the useful addition of a pawn on f4. One line involves a queen sacrifice as early as mov...

an equal (?) GPA line
I guess this post is a bit of a mixture between a game post-mortem, theoretical discussion and some musings I have based on two of my own games + what I have seen in the databases.

English / Grand Prix hybrid
I've seen a number of games recently in UK events where white has used a plan (in some order) of e4,f4,d3,c4, Nc3, Nf3 and Be2 against Sicilians and similar. This can be introduced either from 1 e4 o...

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 d6 3.f4
As has been mentioned on the forum before this is probably the best variation for White when playing the GPA, but I believe theoretically Black is still supposed to be OK. I remember some games where...

Problem is, I'm having trouble finding any games where that actually... Started 03/23/07 at 23:49:56 by dsanchez |

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be2 e6 6.d4!? cd 7.Nb5. I guess the main idea is 7...d5 8.e5, though Black is still ... Started 05/03/06 at 15:05:04 by ErictheRed |
