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...

2.f4
I've been playing the GPA: 1.e4 c5 2.f4.
Now the critical line we all know is 2.d5 3.exd5 Nf6. This line gives black a very nice position. What about 3.Nc3 and 3.e5? or after 3.exd5 Nf6... Started 07/29/04 at 03:59:14 by DragonSnake (Guest) |

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.

Another bust to the GPA?
In the Grand Prix Attack the inclusion of a6/a4 is
generally thought to benefit White. Is this true? In some lines it is annoying that b5 is not available for the bishop: 1.e4 c5 2... Started 04/12/04 at 08:21:46 by MNb « Pages 1 2 all » |

New book by Reinhold Ripperger on the GPA. Anybody seen it yet ?
Opinions ?? I guess the author is reliable, his other works (not just books) seem to have been well received well. Started 09/28/09 at 12:36:00 by nyoke |

Just wondering what do my fellow Grand Prix attack players do against e6 on move two (when white plays e4 and nc3.) Just looking for what options I might have. I really don't want to pla... Started 05/21/14 at 16:01:57 by Mtal |

French setup against the GPA
In the Flank Openings Section, 1.f5 c5 thread, it has become clear, that after 1.f4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 White's best is 3.e4. Then Bladez and Ostapbender seem to think, that e6 gives Black equality.
