In this, the second book in his two-volume work, GM Martyn Kravtsiv
shines the spotlight on the Italian Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4). Most
chess players learn the basics of this opening as beginners, yet it
contains enough depth and complexity to provide the world's best players
with a rich and ever-evolving battleground. Though written unmistakably
from White's perspective, this work takes a different approach from that
of a typical repertoire book. Rather than filling valuable pages
analyzing rare, inferior and generally irrelevant options, the author
delves deep into the most important main lines, explaining the key
move-order details and providing White with a series of well-researched
ideas which will force your opponents to solve difficult problems at the
board. Join The Italian Renaissance and create your own masterpieces!
