The Giuoco Piano: Master & Amateur - Chess Opening Software on DVD

In the first ever English åÒMaster & AmateuråÓ ChessBase DVD, International Master Lorin D'Costa and chess-software expert Nick Murphy take you through the main ideas of the Giuoco Piano in an easy to follow, conversational style. In this DVD they examine:

1. The Giuoco Piano åÔmain line' 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 - White challenges the center straight away.
2. The Giuoco Pianissimo 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3 - with a slower build-up.
3. The Giuoco Piano åÔEvans Gambit style' 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.b4 - aiming for a Queenside space advantage.

The Master and Amateur series gives you the advantage of an expert's chess knowledge combined with an amateur player asking the questions that YOU want to ask.
