Italian Game
Quick development, bishop aimed at f7, slow build-up with c3 and d3. You play White. One of the oldest openings in chess: Greco was already analysing it in the early 1600s. The name Giuoco Piano means "quiet game", and that is how it is played today: White builds slowly with c3 and d3 before breaking with d4. Since the 2010s the slow Italian has been a favourite at the very top, used by Carlsen, Caruana and many others.
