Better yet try this!! Sep-14-05    bumpmobile: Here's a rather mundane and half chess-related question specific to this opening: How would one pronounce the name of this opening? When I say it, it comes out with more syllables than it probably should. Sep-14-05    Sneaky: I don't know how accurate this is, but I've heard it said: "JOKE - OH" Sep-14-05    MaxxLange: <bumpmobile>: gwee choh pee ah no Sep-14-05    Swapmeet: Sneaky is right. Sep-23-05    MaxxLange: What part of Italy is Sneaky from? Sep-23-05    Dudley: Andrew Soltis says Joke-Oh so I'll take that as gospel. Oct-12-05    AlexanderMorphy: b4 (the evans gambit) could be useful! if you want to know more about it go to the evans gambit page on this website..myself and other people have made good points about about it! Oct-12-05    geaux82: I got quite a laugh from this GP. B Gutierrez Fernandez vs C Vega Velasco, 2001 Sep-22-06    jamesmaskell: I meet this opening very frequently. Perhaps because while its drawish at International level, at club level it can be spiced up. I dont play it as White, instead going for my Ruy Exchange instead. As Black though as long as I can hold back Whites initial assault, I can attack through the Queenside. At least it worked last night (I wish I had the moves written down but it was 15 minute quickplay). In positions like that it gets very complex very quickly even for an e4 opening. Black can hold it and counter-attack but its not easy. Feb-27-07    SirBruce: Many years ago, I had Power Chess on my computer (WChess engine) and it preferred to teach the Giouco Piano and I got to hate it. After learning the many ways Black can blunder, it seems with good play this opening is highly drawish and often a bore. I prefer the Ruy Lopez now, I suppose because it puts pressure on c6-d7-e8 or forces black to weaken his queenside early. Apr-16-07    gambitfan: Game of The Day GOD Mo 16/04/2007 May-28-08    WannaBe: Opening of the day, I know there is a 'quiet' version. Too bad that there isn't a quadruple-forte version!!!! :-)) Jan-29-09    blacksburg: i'm not scared of you, silly giouiuouuoiuoco piano. i'm way more scared of the evans gambit. Jan-29-09    MaxxLange: You know what's good fun in blitz? The King's Gambit Declined in Evans Gambit style: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 Bc5 3 Nf3 d6 4. b4!? Jan-29-09    blacksburg: i am also more scared of max lange than guiouiououiioco piano. Mar-06-09    FiveofSwords: well the guioiuocci piano really is not different from ANY opening in the sense that if black is familiar with the opening and knows what mistakes not to make then hes not going to wind up in a bad position. The game doesnt have to be decided by the opening, however. Anyway, nobody is prepared for every opening. If you see your opponent just happen to play the right moves agiainst your opening then simply tip your hat to his dilligent work ethic and then demolish him in the equal endgame. This opening is not my main weapon by a long shot but its easy to learn and if im in the mood i'll test anyone with the guicco piano - if I see they have a nice line against all 6 or 7 of the tries for white that I know, ill just remember that and not play it against them anymore. Mar-07-09    chessman95: Yeah, the Guioiuoiuco (I still don't know how to pronounce that!) Piano is pretty easy to equalize against. Personally, I think the best choices for white are the max lange and evans gambits, which I both consider to be sound. They are annoying to play against as black, and fun to play as white. Mar-07-09    blacksburg: it's because of guys like you two that i spend all my time worrying about the max lange and the evans gambit and still don't know anything about the ruy lopez. :( Mar-08-09    Red October: or you could take up the Latvian Gambit and not learn any of those 3 Mar-08-09    geniokov: You can tame Giuco Piano by playing Two Knight´s Defense!...Best against this opening. Mar-08-09    chessman95: You can always just play the Petroff Defense to avoid all that theory, or even the Elephant Gambit (!!!!) :) Mar-09-09    blacksburg: maybe i should just go back to the Scandinavian (B01). Mar-09-09    Red October: these Scandinavians are crazy.. *tap* *tap* *tap* < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing >
