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.
