Chess openings: The italian game




Chess openings: The italian game

The Italian game is one of the oldest openings. This opening was already investigated in the sixteenth century by Italian players. It is also called Giuoco piano, which in italian means "quiet game", because it usually produces a slow game of maneuvers. However, if one of the two players does not play correctly it can lead to attack positions that end in a quick mate.

The Italian game is an opening of the so-called open games and is characterized by its logic and soundness. From the first movements the two players seek to control the center and place the pieces in attacking positions against the enemy king. It is a very rich opening in tactical and strategic ideas.
