It has been played by Steinitz, Nimzovich, Paulsen,Hort, Sveshnikov, Anand, and many others. White takes a space advantage and a longterm kingside pawn break (f2-f4-f5). Black has a solid position with no pawn weaknesses and queenside play, especially involving pressure on the d4 square. Black s pawn break is c7-c5. White strategic plans: 1. The f5 break - pawn f2-f4-f5, make the f5 lever, open the f file for the rooks, invade and/or mate. 2. Gain space on the queenside with a2-a3 a n d b 2 - b 4. T h i s p r e v e n t s b l a c k counterplay on that wing and allows white to defend d4 by.bb2. 3. White can gain space on the kingside by playing h4-h5. Using the h pawn this way prevents black from setting up a white square blockade f7+g6+h5. White tactics: 1. Classic bishop sacrifice 2. Center demolition sacrifice 3. f5 break 4. Mating attacks 5. e5-e6 shot Black strategic plans: 1. Trade off the bad bishop. 2. Get developed. a. Knight to f5 plan: n-(e7 or h6)-f5 b. Quick queenside: bd7 and rc8. 3. Attack d4. 4. Open lines on the queenside and invade 5. Play f7-f6 6. Kingside Blockade on White Squares, or 7. Expand on the kingside before white gets his pawns rolling. Black tactics: 1. Overwealm the d4 pawn. 2. Center demolition sacrifice. 3. Piece sac on b4. White s most permanent long range winning plan is to play his f pawn to f5, then either to open lines or (if black has castled kingside) to play f5- f6 with a mating attack.this Greco game shows the f-pawn attack in pure form Illustrative Games I. The f5 break strategy: Greco - NN, e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 e5 c5 4 c3 cxd4 Usually black does not make this exchange, since it allows white to develop his knight to c3. 5 cxd4 bb4+
