    Italian Game

    a positional repertoire for White

    The quiet Italian: c3, d3, 0-0, Re1, Nbd2, Bb3 and the Nf1-g3 knight manoeuvre, with the d4 break once the pieces are ready. Against the Two Knights — 4.d3 instead of 4.Ng5; the Giuoco Piano, the Hungarian Defence and the 3…Nd4 trap are covered separately.
