Looking to sharpen your opening repertoire without drowning in dense theory? At US CHESS, we are pleased to offer this clearance title: The Giuoco Piano by Lorin D'Costa and Nick Murphy. The Giuoco Piano, Italian for quiet game, is one of the oldest recorded chess openings, with roots stretching back over five hundred years. While it is a favorite among juniors and novices for its simple principles like rapid development and central control, don't let its calm name fool you. This opening has a fierce, sophisticated side and is a weapon of choice for world champions like Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen. This DVD is the first in the unique Master and Amateur series from ChessBase. International Master Lorin D'Costa teams up with chess software expert Nick Murphy to deliver a conversational, easy to follow guide. You get the benefit of an expert’s strategic depth combined with an amateur’s perspective, asking the very questions you want answered. The video covers key variations, including the main line with 4.c3 and 5.d4, the slower Giuoco Pianissimo, and even an aggressive Evans Gambit style approach. With over five and a half hours of engaging content, this is a fantastic resource for any player looking to understand this timeless opening from the ground up.
