GM Pier Luigi Basso keeps building his 1.e4 e5 repertoire for Black. After publishing the excellent course Berlin Defence – Top-Level Repertoire for Black, he provides you with a powerful repertoire against the Italian Game.
The repertoire is based on 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5
GM Basso prefers the move 3…Bc5 since in his opinion, the sidelines here are less dangerous that 3…Nf6 4.Ng5. Even though the author goes for the most principled lines, it will not be difficult for you to study them since all the suggestions are positionally justified. Hence, the entire repertoire is very practical. It goes without saying, that you will find many new ideas in important positions.
The course consists of 12 theoretical chapters, 20 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (3h and 25min).
Once again, you will find Basso’s signature 15-minute repertoire video, where he highlights the most important ideas for quick application, backed by a corresponding PGN file for easy reference.
