Mon premier grand cahier d'exercices de Peter GiannatosMon premier grand cahier d'exercices de Peter Giannatos

                                      The Italian Opening is one of the oldest in chess history, mentioned as early as the 15th entury, but is still a frequent guest today, even at the highest level, most recently in the 2021 world championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi. Although the challenger lost this game, the use of the Italian Opening alone shows tat it's a serious weapon even among top...

Learning new ideas in the game was possible only through books or magazines and if something was not clear, there weren’t too many people to consult for explanations. I was never a great player and quit when other things in life...
