The Giuoco Piano (Italian: "quiet game"), is the oldest recorded opening. The Portuguese Damiano played it at the beginning of the 15th century and the Italian Greco played it at the beginning of the 16th century. Because of Greco's work on the opening, it is sometimes called the Italian Game, although that term is also used more generally to describe the position after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. The Giuoco Piano was popular through the 19th century, but modern refinements in defensive play have led most chess masters towards openings like the Ruy Lopez that offer White greater chances for long term initiative.
White's "Italian bishop" at c4 prevents Black from advancing in the center with ...d5 and attacks the vulnerable f7 square. White plans to dominate the center with d2-d4 and to attack the Black king. Black aims to free his game by exchanging pieces and playing the pawn break ...d5, or to hold his center pawn at e5. According to Chessbase, white chances are about 46% ============ Contributors : Thibault de Vassal [ECO "C50"] [Opening "Giuoco Piano"] c3 : 490 games, White ELO av : 1901, Black ELO av : 1883 1-0 : 36.9% , 1/2-1/2 : 38% , 0-1 : 25.1% b4 : 372 games, White ELO av : 1720, Black ELO av : 1675 1-0 : 44.7% , 1/2-1/2 : 13.6% , 0-1 : 41.7% O-O : 128 games, White ELO av : 1648, Black ELO av : 1721 1-0 : 32.8% , 1/2-1/2 : 27.3% , 0-1 : 39.8% d3 : 88 games, White ELO av : 1717, Black ELO av : 1741 1-0 : 29.5% , 1/2-1/2 : 28.4% , 0-1 : 42% Nc3 : 48 games, White ELO av : 1403, Black ELO av : 1475 1-0 : 21.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 10.6% , 0-1 : 68.1% d4 : 33 games, White ELO av : 1388, Black ELO av : 1395 1-0 : 33.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 66.7% a3 : 10 games, White ELO av : 1405, Black ELO av : 1576 1-0 : 20% , 1/2-1/2 : 10% , 0-1 : 70% Ng5 : 5 games, White ELO av : 1151, Black ELO av : 1293 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% a4 : 3 games, White ELO av : 1541, Black ELO av : 1431 1-0 : 33.3% , 1/2-1/2 : 66.7% , 0-1 : 0% h3 : 3 games, White ELO av : 1435, Black ELO av : 1441 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% Nxe5 : 1 game, White ELO av : 1000, Black ELO av : 1400 1-0 : 0% , 1/2-1/2 : 0% , 0-1 : 100% See this chess line with the javascript viewer
