1:27 u can move the b2 pawn to b4 and turn it into the evens gambit as well
THE JEROME
HE STILL REIGNS
What about h6? Every time
Playing for a draw in chess especially as white is despicable
4:24
The Italian game opening is quite fun because it’s fast paced and aggressive. Until you castle, F7 is a real weak spot for black you can manipulate.
If you don’t see it coming you can use the Italian opening to win in 4 moves using queen and Bishop.
played this today. almost won but computer crashed
Wow the Jerome gambit
Anyone know what to play after Bc4 and then pawn f3?
im gay moan(;
7:21 you can go into the fries liver attack again as your bishop is defending the g5 square

Came here to see the next moves of the fried liver but you kept it short 🙁
I love the content, but would suggest since the videos are educational, it would be great to slow down the pace of narration.
O m G…wonderful idea…
Late to the party, but I just started picking up chess. Very nice introduction to the system.

ITALLIAANNOO
At 10:00, couldn't you take the F7 pawn with the knight to fork the Rook and Queen? Even if the Queen attacks, that Rook is stuck.
I shouldn't sound so critical, this is a very well-made video. I always shoot for the Fried Liver but didn't realize that's a branch off of the Italian. Now I know!
this is exactly what I was looking for … now I will lose 200 ELO points trying it
taking f7 p is suicidal..
Bro, please slow down the speech this isn't an auction. Had to keep rewinding to take notes.
I like to be passive aggressive ha!
Knight g4 @10:21 ?
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks kavin
I play same opening but from D4
I want…. more variations…
9:59 Why doesn't he take the f7 pawn with the knight? The Queen and rook will be forked, and he gets to win a rook.
Edit: timestamp
To lengthy, does not come to a point…
Y’all be going to fast
Ive deff played this a couple times without knowing
What if black plays pawn to d5 ?
God video it is interesting the way you interprete
This is a video on my favorite opening, made on my 5th birthday!
You're not gonna cover Legal's mate? After pawn D6?
8:30
I found out bishop b5 is better
Love the Evan's so I play the Italian a lot. Gotta learn about the openings you play if you wish to succeed with them
Thanks
7:02 how to play when oponent play the so called paris defence.
Finally something for when I misclick the bishop trying to do the ruy lopez
I started out with the Italian Game and I’ve gotten a lot of wins from it, but every once in a while I switch to the London System to trick people who play with me a lot. Because if you play e4 for a long time than your opponent suddenly sees you play d4 it surprises them because they’re fully prepared for an e4 opening. 😈 I’m still good at the Italian Game though.
I was playing italian game all along huh i ususally continue to move knight to f7
What do I do if my opponent plays pawn d6 right after I develop the bishop
ok thx
Back when I was a beginner, I played this opening without knowing
italian game is da best
In that position at 6:11 White shouldn't take the pawn with the knight, Qd5 threatening mate on f7 wins a piece.
