  • Appendix 1. Why is it called “Italian”?
  • Appendix 2. Oh, if you must… some ideas for playing the Giuoco Pianissimo [ Regis (Exeter) - Orpwood (Salford), 1987 ~ A trap in the Giuoco Pianissimo ~ Another trap in the Giuoco Pianissimo ~ One more trap in the Giuoco Pianissimo ~ Example Game in the Giuoco Pianissimo: Chambers-Vorhees (Dayton, Ohio) 1972 ]

develop your other pieces rapidly, bring your King’s Rook to e1. If you have a lead in development, break open lines to get at the Black position keep the opponent’s pieces from settling with central pawn stabs. Usually we say, don’t make time-wasting pawn moves, like h2-h3. But if you play e4-e5 attacking a Knight on f6, the Knight has to move, and so you haven’t given Black a chance to catch up in development, and you may have dislodged an important defender. It’s odd that, because Pawns are worth the least, nothing can resist their attacks!
try and catch the opponent’s King in the middle, or, if it escapes by castling, attack on the King’sside.. Usually, only the Evans’ Gambit and Moller Attack in the Giuoco Piano are fast enough to catch the King in the middle.
if your attack doesn’t come about, fast development and siezing the central files may give you an advantage in the endgame Because the basic layout is similar for both sides, some of these ideas also apply to playing Black: in addition Black should strive for:
rapid development
castle into safety
