One of the best and most popular ways to meet White's
first move 1.e4 remains the tried and tested 1…e5. After this
move the majority of games steer for the Ruy Lopez. A perfectly
fine choice for White, but one that requires you to study the
countless different setups and follow the continuously evolving
theory in that opening.

of the age-old ‘Giuoco Piano', with the innocent looking pawn
moves c3 and d3, is not only popular at club level, but is also
regularly adopted by many strong Grandmasters including the very
best, such as Magnus Carlsen and Anish Giri.

theoretical novelties are much less important than the sound
principles it is based on, such as the pawn push d3-d4 or
bringing the b1 knight over to the kingside and into the
attack.

full of venom, because White has a lot of options to create
aggressive play by making natural looking moves with his pieces.
