The Italian Game (sometimes referred to as the Giuoco Piano) is one
of the oldest openings around, and also one of the first lines a
player learns when he or she is introduced to chess. It leads to
play that is easy to understand: both sides develop their pieces
logically and begin attacks on the opposing kings. The Italian Game
gives both White and Black the opportunity to play either
aggressively and in gambit fashion, or in a restrained and
positional manner. One of White's most exciting and attacking
options is the legendary Evans Gambit, which has been brought back
into the limelight in this modern era by such uncompromising
players as World number one Garry Kasparov, Alexander Morozevich
and England's Nigel Short. In this book, openings expert Jan Pinski
investigates the different strategies and tactics in the Italian
Game and Evans Gambit. Using model games for both White and Black,
Pinski provides crucial coverage of both the main lines and offbeat
variations. This book arms the reader with enough knowledge to play
the Italian Game and Evans Gambit with confidence. Pinski delves
into the secrets of the Four Knights for the first time in this
other book, studying the strategic ideas for both white and black
players. He covers both the fashionable main lines and the tricky
sidelines, bringing the reader up to date with the expanding
theory.
