The ancient chess opening 1.e4 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 has been refined into the Modern Italian Game, and is a great weapon for the average club player. But this system also scores well for White at all levels - right up to Grandmaster. It's 100% sound, solid and durable, offering White the chance to develop a nagging edge throughout the game.This advantage can often turn into a vicious attack. After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6, it is the move 5.d3! which will make Black's heart sink. On this all-new Foxy openings DVD, IM Andrew Martin teaches you how to play this top-class system without any fuss, and shows you how to get up to speed in no time.
