Its main line play is simple and straight forward, and yet it aggressively destroys your opponent with explosive and devastating positional power (when properly executed).This in depth book beautifully covers the Giuoco Piano in all its forms and wonderful variations.

I've always lamented that chess "How To" books seem to be either too basic, or too advanced. THIS book seems to bridge the gap nicely! That said, if your goal is to gain knowledge on a variety of chess defence strategies, this book will be too specific for you. But for those who have encountered and fallen in love with Giuoco Piano, this book will make a wonderful eclectic and FUN addition to your chess book library!
