Professional Chess Instruction for Children of all Ages.
The Giuoco Piano is a chess opening characterized by the moves:
1. d4, d5 2. c4
The Queen's Gambit is one of the oldest known chess openings, as Lucena wrote
about it in 1497 and it is mentioned in the earlier Göttingen manuscript. During the
early period of modern chess Queen Pawn openings were not in fashion, and the
Queen's Gambit did not become common until the 1873 tournament in Vienna. As
Steinitz and Tarrasch developed chess theory and increased the appreciation of
positional play, the Queen's Gambit grew more popular. It reached its peak
popularity in the 1920s and 1930s and was played in 32 out of 34 games in the
1934 World Chess Championship. Since then Black has increasingly moved away
from symmetrical openings, tending to use the Indian defences to combat Queen
Pawn openings.
The Queen's Gambit is still frequently played, however, it remains an important
part of many Grandmasters' opening repertoires.
