THE ITALIAN OPENING FOR WHITE - JUSTUS BARGSTEN...

The Italian Opening is one of the oldest in chess history  mentioned as early as the 15th
century  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 that it's a serious
weapon even among top grandmasters. Many white players choose it because they want to obtain a
sub- stantial game. The positions are often less concrete and tactical than in other openings 
and because they are also less analyzed  the modern Italian offers a good mix of uncharted
territory and positional understanding. With this work  the author aims to illustrate the
modern ideas of the Italian Opening to players at a medium level. It deals with positions based
on White's 'slow' plan  i.e. if he chooses a calm approach characterized by positional ideas.
The author does not attempt to offer the reader a complete repertoire  but rather to explain
the ideas of the emerging middlegame positions. The material primarily includes the systems
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 Bc5 5.c3 h6 6.0-0 d6 7.Re1 a6 8.a4 Ba7 9.Nbd2 0-0 10.h3 and
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 Bc5 5.c3 d6 6.0-0 0-0 7.h3 h6 8.Re1 a5  where especially the
latter has gained enormous popularity in current practice.
