Chess Strategy Italian Game

Introduction to Library EditionThis Italian Game book shows how to win games after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. This chess opening is fun with either color! The book is an introduction for those who are new to the Open Game Giuoco Piano, and Two Knights Defence. I give my strategy from these 40 games with 212 diagrams. I scored +33 -5 =1 in these 10-minute games. I played them vs random "Advanced" guests in 2021.I use strategy for my comments to explain what's going on. I follow any of these steps. 1. Describe the current position. 2. Imagine how to improve it. 3. Plan how to get there.My opening philosophy against intermediate players is to challenge them in the center quickly with as many pawns and pieces as possible. I prefer a classical style for this.I pick a key position every few moves to make a comment. My plan is for you to browse through the book, look at the diagrams and read the comments with ease.For those who prefer to read quickly, you can skim through the book from diagram to diagram. Note the change from the previous diagram and read any notes that interest you.From time to time, I add a line of analysis. You may wish to work out some of those lines in your head, or just note that there was an alternative way to play and keep reading.I've played chess for 50 years. As a Postal Chess Master, my usual opponents were rated 1800 to 2400. However, my opponents in this book are often lower to intermediate. My peak Internet Chess Club blitz rating was 2492.I assume that you can read algebraic chess notation. The diagrams put White at the bottom of the board. Play to win!
