About this title

Synopsis

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.
