1. e4 c5 2. Sc3 d6 3. f4 Salut, I work to learn the Sicilian Dragon and think about the following line 1. e4 c5 2. Sc3 d6 3. f4 How is to answer to this one at best and how can I answer, when I wish to play in ... Started 03/02/06 at 13:43:29 by e2e4	10	5835	03/14/06 at 11:54:20 By: alumbrado
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... Started 12/04/06 at 00:37:14 by Glenn Snow	5	2898	12/05/06 at 04:56:06 By: kylemeister
1e4 c5 2f4 d5 3Nf3!? What do chess pub users think of 1e4 c5 2f4 d5 3Nf3!? . It has been played 6 times according to chessbase nine (Once By IM Jonny Hector). I will try and put some analysis on the website soon. Started 05/24/09 at 15:38:39 by Watsonfox	11	9091	07/16/09 at 20:39:04 By: MNb
2...a6 against the Grand Prix I like this move against 2.Nc3...What do other players think. 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 a6 is the line chosen in the new book The Sharpest Sicilian 2012 and Fighting the Anti-Sicilians by Richard here at Che...

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)	11	3842	10/12/04 at 07:06:57 By: Panda (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.

Analysis 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.a3!

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 »	15	8591	07/24/05 at 12:17:41 By: photophore
Auf Sieg spielen gegen Sizilianisch 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	5	5181	10/05/09 at 20:29:23 By: nyoke
Best line against the Toilet variation? I've got an upcoming game against someone who always plays the move order 1.e4 c5 2.f4, and the only game I've seen him play against 2...d5 he replied with 3.Nc3 and went on to win against a higher ra...

Poll: black vs. the GPA Hello all Sicilian players. I am thinking about switching to the Grand Prix Attack 1. e4 c5 2. f4 and I was just wondering which move is most often played (particularly among non GMs) Started 01/02/04 at 23:02:09 by spakus	0	1984	01/02/04 at 23:02:08 By: spakus

Dzindzichashvili DVD #41 I see Roman has released a new DVD updating the Sicilian Grand Prix attack, from his Roman's Lab #23 DVD. Has anybody seen it yet? What lines does he update on it? James Started 06/14/07 at 17:03:19 by JackVincennes	1	1614	06/15/07 at 15:34:02 By: Ametanoitos

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... Started 05/24/08 at 11:13:43 by RdC	5	3008	09/07/08 at 21:01:04 By: MNb

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. As ... Started 06/21/06 at 12:47:13 by MNb « Pages 1 2 3 all »	33	22907	01/09/07 at 00:35:29 By: MNb
GPA Model Games I seem to recall reading (perhaps on this site) that White's attack in the GPA almost plays itself, with f5, Ng5, Qe1-h5, etc. Problem is, I'm having trouble finding any games where that actually... Started 03/23/07 at 23:49:56 by dsanchez	4	2586	04/02/07 at 11:08:17 By: Faraday
