How to play Italian Game | Giuoco Piano | White Win | Complete Trap and Trick | Gambit

The Giuoco Piano is said to be the oldest opening recorded in chess. Instead of developing the bishop to b5, white instead attacks the center and aims at the weak f7 square. After black responds bishop to c5 you see the tension building up in the center of the board.
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
The opening has been called the “quiet game” but for anyone who has played this opening, after the initial build-up in the center, the Giuoco Piano becomes anything but quiet. There will almost certainly be many exchanges in the middle as both sides vie for center control, opening the board up. White eventually plans to bring his pawn to d4 and black plans to bring his pawn to d5. As you can tell from the setup, there are no attacks from the outside but instead, everything runs through the middle. This opening is somewhat tricky and there are many variations that you may want to study more if you plan on playing the Giuoco Piano.
Watch the video above to watch more detailed explanations of the opening, multiple variations, and extended lines.

Very worth studying. Got my attention.

in 2nd variation there is a great move Qb3 instead of Ba3 that you have showed.

[devilking]

I used to play this gambit unknowningly but stucked at the point when the knight takes your pawn and you need to castel thanks for that...now i know what i should play 😈😈

[gabrielcomer]

Pawn push to d6 gives black a defence after Ba3, better would've been to immediately challenge the black bishop with Qb3. After ...Bxa1, Bxf7 Kf8, Ba3 Ne7, you take the black bishop on a1 with the rook and will put it on e1 afterward. The position isn't checkmate just yet but its still a guaranteed loss for black

[McAdamsMechanics]

I liked the variations and, as a result, i subscribed

[filco]

Ok i memorized. Now delete that short! lol

[christopherhill]

After white moves ba3,
d6 stops all that nonsense and white is dead lost. These traps are for like 12-1300 players

[qvddexk]

I had to put this in my playbook!!!😁😁👍

[TheRealMc]

I tried that last one but he captured the knight with the bishop. I have to see what i can do from this position.

[tylerstemach]

what if they go pawn d6 instead of taking your rook with their bishop?

[Kqelll]

What if queen takes on e7? Is material up by a queen?

[aarontribula]

What if black plays pawn D5 instead of the knight?

[ditto]

You can also do evans gambit(the opening AlphaZero uses) or the fried liver attack(a really good opening that will definitely crush players below 1200 elos)

[metehansaka]

but dont move bxa1 move d6 and its good?

[TheRealMc]

What if they capture your knight that's pinned with the bishop? I would like a video that covers that.

[abdullahalmasrafi]

Who would make Knight E7 insted of pawn D6😂

[Hhhhh.]

If ur playing an beginner just move knight to g5 then f7 and castle if needed

[inhelixi]

Bruh can’t they just do knight to d6 whilst also defending checkmate lol

[artwithanant]

The problem is that after taking out bishop the opponent gets his other knight out and captures the pawn failing the whole plan

[sexy.potato]

If you are playing as black D5, play D5 before taking the rook, that is at a bit of a positional advantage but it's a balanced game even at GM levels
