Giachomo Greco in the 17.century-Giuoco Pianissimo-killing them softly …

The 80s with Sergei Dolmatov and John Nunn, nowadays Sergey Movsesian and Sergei Tiviakov (maybe the Italian should be renamed to 'Sergeys Game'!?) both reaching 2700 with the Italian as a main weapon.

The young Ukrainians Sachar Efimenko and Areshenko also using the Italian game to great effect. All of them can be used for creating a "model-database”.

2. Three illustrative games with general strategic explanations will get you in the "Italian spirit". No need to memorize here, just relax, enjoy and let your subconscious do some work for you!

3. Typical recurring motives, tricks and traps that will enable you to counter recurring situations in or out of theory.

4. Specific move orders and some "hardcore-theory"

5. Test yourself: Training positions and the algorithm of masterly thinking.
