if you like to play against the GPA, then you like to lose!
for this for white i am beast ok i'm 27-1-1 only loss to a 2300 and drew 2100 i also know all the lines and theory about it.
My win percentage with his variation as White is about 90% in blitz chess. I play Bc4 unless Black pushes an early d5, when I'll play Bb5 instead. It's one of those openings where you often get the same basic middlegame structure and can play a standard attack most of the time, especially if Black fianchettos (Qe1-h4, Bh6, Ng5, and a Rook sac against the Nf6 if necessary. I've even given my Queen's rook to the Black Queen's knight (...Nc6-d4-c2-a1) to get this set-up, with an overwhelming attack against the Black king. You learn some "true-isms" such as "always maintain a pawn on e4" and "always push f5, which usually is a pawn-sac" etc. It's true that Black can equalize if he knows the right lines, but then you end up with an equal game in a position you're familiar with, and then....the better player wins! What more can you ask for? I recommend you try this opening and play, say, 500 games of blitz with it. You'll like it!
I find this opening strange, because if you push the f3 pawn, there is a hole that lots of black's pieces can be forced into.
A lot of white players think the GPA is a suprise for the black player: NO, it isnt
And when you know a little bit theory, you can play against the GPA with confidence, because white cant get any advantage with the GPA
I am a Sicilian player with black and I like playing against the GPA
Been looking for a new opening and iam going to try this one
I love playing this attack as white because this throws away black's 2. Nf3 3. d4 preparation, which will likely consitute a vast majority of black's knowledge about the Sicilian. For players who are interesting in playing as white, and I am not using this as a cheap excuse for advertisement, but I highly recommend Lev Alburt's "Chess Openings for White, Explained".
For those players who are used to the Sicilian, this is a good surprise defense. Be aggressive, even if they play g6.
i often use this defense to my games!!!
