Grandmaster John Emms presents a repertoire for White after 1 e4 e5,
based on the Italian Game and the Bishop's Opening. The lines he
recommends are built upon a sound yet aggressive system of development
which can be deployed against virtually every Black defence. The
emphasis is firmly on understanding and executing key positional and
tactical ideas, rather than the arduous process of memorizing theory.
Emms covers both the main variations and the tricky sidelines, and
highlights crucial move-order subtleties. This book provides everything
you need to know about playing the Italian Game and the Bishop's
Opening. A Grandmaster's repertoire after 1 e4 e5 Packed with new ideas
and analysis Ideal for improvers, club players and tournament players
