    I remember when Pia played with Queen odds on a site called Gamecolony she would just demolish their top players (1800-1900), I've played against Pia, Bellon and Anna. Pia is cautious, ultra-solid that never missed tactics and always played some sort of sicilian taimanov and Bellon was like a Fire-storm that just made you feel like on a receiving end of a Morphy Miniature when I played Anna she must've been like 8/9 and I was around 1900 and she didn't fall for any of my tricks and I lost :/ Fast forward 10years later I'm a FIDE master and ABC is an international celebrity how time flies...

    Very good lesson thank you but the move knight f3 (4:40) opens up for the fried liver attack (knight g5). I know there's a defence for this where black comes out fine but quite tricky for a beginner (and even intermediate) player with a lot of room for fatal mistakes. So I wish you would have covered this (the fried liver defence)!

    I have this encyclopedia on chess, and in it's article on the Giuoco Piano. And it suggests it's not played by top players. But then people like Magnus have played it in tournaments. Not sure why the encyclopedia seems to have missed the mark. Maybe in the 1970s, people thought the opening was dead, but further study, possibly with computers said otherwise.

    She does add that they do it "when they want to be solid," specifically, not when the want a bracing game with attacking chances etc. It's a bit drawish but very secure. And a lot of classical OTB is pretty cautious, simply because all of the players are so good and are easily penalized for creative but dubious play.

    I don't agree at all. Do you have any idea how many openings and, within this openings, how many variations, one has to study with Black after 1.e4 e5? Why would you - an amateur - do that? Learn the King's Gambit, the Vienna, the Scotch and some gambits and then turn your attention to the Spanish, which you will see most of the time and which is a labyrinth. You can spend many thousands of hours on this. If you get as far as 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 (?) White can play 4. Ng5, start learning this opening, the two knight's defense, which does not give Black anything. Or he-she can play another series of moves such as 4.d3. In all of this, White dictates play. My approach is completely different: as a beginner or a player in the 1200 - 1900 range, learn one opening, stick to it and forget about GM evaluations. Your opening of choice might not be the 'best' but it is good enough and study middle games and endgames in the time you that you save memorizing variations that will turn out non-relevant for most of the time at your level of play anyway.

    actually I disagree. Gm evaluations are great for learning. You tend to stick to the habits you already gained in playing a opening. If you start playing what the gm says you will memorize better lines and start seeing things. New players just get crushed and give up.
