X0 Queen' s Gambit Declinned (QGD): Symmetrical (Austrian) Defense
1.d4
X1 d5
X2 2.c4
X3 c5
X4 3.dxc5
X5
[ 3.Nf3
X6 is now most usual]
3...Qa5+?!
X7
This too fast engagement of the Black' s Queen is rather favourable to White development
[ An usual reply in this confidential line of play is: 3...d4!?
X8 4.b4
X9 a5
X10 5.Bb2
X11 axb4
X12 6.Nf3
X13 Nc6
X14 7.Nxd4
X15 Nf6
X16 8.g3
X17 e5

X21 bxc6
X22 11.Bg2
X23 Bb7=
X24 Capablanca Jose Raul - Noliman Jorge 1-0 (D06) Buenos Aires casual 29/05/1911]
4.Qd2!?
X25
[ Possible is: 4.Nc3
X26 dxc4
X27 5.e4
X28 Be6
X29 6.Nf3
X30 Nc6
X31 7.Be3
X32 +/= and White has a pleasant game.]
4...Qxd2+
X33
The Queen' s exchange is the only choice.
5.Nxd2
X34 dxc4
X35 6.Nxc4
X36 e6?
X37
A serious mistake, unfavourable to Black development!... The c8-h3 diagonal is obstructed, while the strategic d6-square is leaved to White control.
7.Nd6+!
X38
The strongest retort!
7...Bxd6
X39 8.cxd6
X40
All the question is now: White is it able to defend and promote his central passed pawn?... It seems it is capable to do that...
8...Nf6
X41 9.f3!?
This surprising move is not a fault and reveals the strategic vision of Greco, as well as the self-confident of the best chess player of his time.
X42 White may play Bf4-g3-f2 and, in the same time, squares e4 and g4 are prohibited to the Black King' s Knight.
[ After 9.Nf3
X43 Nc6
X44 10.Bf4
X45 Nb4
X46 11.Nd4!
X47 Bd7
X48 12.a3
X49 Nbd5
X50 13.Be5
X51 +- White wins easily.]
9...0-0??
X52
Castling in such a position is frankly dangerous.
[ The right continuation is: 9...Kd7
X53 10.Bf4
X54 Nh5
X55 11.Be3
X56 Kxd6
X57 12.Rd1+
X58 Kc7
X59 13.g4
X60 Nf6
X61 14.Bf4+
X62 and White has a better game.]
10.e4
X63 e5
X64 11.b3
X65 Rd8
X66 12.Ba3
X67
[ 12.Bb2!?
X68 ]
12...Ne8
X69 13.Rd1
X70 Be6
X71 14.Bc4?!
X72
This time, Greco loses his advantage
14...Bd7??
X73
[ The accurate line leads probably to a draw : 14...Bxc4
X74 15.bxc4
X75 Nd7
X76 16.Kf2
X77 Rac8
X78 17.Ne2
X79 Rxc4=

15.g3!?
X81
Interesting anyway..
[ But 15.Ne2!
X82 seems quite natural.]
15...b5
X83 16.Bd5
X84 Bc6
X85 17.Bc5
X86 Bxd5
X87 18.Rxd5
X88 Nd7
X89 19.b4!
X90
In this curious game, Greco is engaged in an all-interesting and fine strategic play, organized around his passed isolated central d6-pawn. He reveals here some subtleties prefiguring the great Philidor and very far from the Italian style of playing, which, it' s true, was only at its beginning at the Greco' s time!
19...a5!
X91
This counter-attack, in view to open the a-file, is a good idea.
[ The alternative move 19...Ndf6
X92 may be considered.]
20.a3
X93 axb4
X94 21.axb4
X95 Ra1+
X96 22.Kf2
X97 Rc1?
X98
This bad move shows that Black has no good plan
[ Is without any doubt better 22...Nxc5
X99 23.bxc5
X100 b4
X101 24.Kg2
X102 Ra2+
X103 25.Kh3
X104 b3
X105 26.Rd3
X106 Rc2
X107 27.Ne2!?
X108 Rxc5
X109 ( 27...Rxe2!?
X110 28.Rb1
X111 b2
X112 29.Rb3
X113 Nxd6
X114 Leads probably to a draw. ) 28.Rb1
X115 Rxd6
X116 29.Rbxb3
X117 and the draw is practically evident.]
23.Kg2
X118 Nxc5
X119 24.bxc5
X120 b4
X121
[ 24...Rc2+
X122 25.Kh3
X123 b4
X124 26.Rxe5
X125 b3!
X126 27.Re7
X127 Rxc5
X128 28.Rb7
X129 and an unclear endgame!]
25.Ne2!
X130 Rc2
X131
The only move.
26.Kf2
X132 b3?
X133
[ 26...Nf6
X134 +/- is the accurate answer]
27.Rb1
X135 b2??
X136
[ 27...Nf6
X137 +/- is always the good retort, but now White wins in any case.]
28.Ke1
X138 f6??
X139 29.Kd1!
X140 Rc4
X141 30.Rxb2
X142 Kf7
X143 31.Rb7+
X144 Ke6
X145 32.Re7#
Even if Greco's chess games, against anonymous players, are undoubtedly constructions, with didactic goals, they at least reveal much delicacy and a high level of playing.
1-0
