Italian Game

1.e4 stakes a claim in the center and opens lines for the bishop and queen. We'll follow the Italian Game — natural, principled development that any beginner can play. Watch the eval bar stay near even: when BOTH sides follow the principles, neither gets an edge — and that's exactly the point of a sound opening.
