Attack with the Modern Italian, Chess Opening Software In recent years the Italian Game has undergone a renaissance, now a major system which offers excellent chances for White. Accordingly it has found favor with some of the World's top players including Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Sergei Tiviakov, Viktor Bologan, Sergei Movsesian, Michael Adams and Boris Gelfand. The emphasis in the Italian Game is on knowing where the pieces belong and understanding key plans and ideas. On this DVD Davies examines the modern treatment of the Italian with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 followed by 4.d3 and then usually the c2-c3 pawn advance. Also shown are attacking lines for White, often featuring him castling Queenside and then charging up the Kingside.
