Italian games with various move orders are easy to misplace, and some are mislabeled originally. This collection has not been completely edited since changes were made, so a mix still exists.

Bc4 f5 "Gioachino Greco (1600 – 1634) was an Italian chess player and writer who recorded some of the earliest known chess games. He was the first to use the initials NN to describe an anonymous opponent and his writings are said to have influenced many future Grandmasters. His rivals and chess comrades of the day were Ruy Lopez de Segura and Francois-Andre Danican Philidor, both legendary and influential players in their own right. Mikhail Botvinnik considered Greco to be the first professional chess player. He played chess during the age of the “Italian Romantic Style”, for which he studied the Giuoco Piano (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4) and published his analysis in the form of short games around 1625. These games are regarded as classics of early chess literature and some are still taught to beginners today. What a legacy – to continue influencing the chess community almost 400 years later!" -- pakchess.org * Don't Shoot the Piano Player! DO NOT Shoot the Piano Player!

He were to regret having said that. Karpov smashed the world elite to bits and pieces with an amazing score of 11/13 (+9 =4 -0) and a record performance rating of 2985, after having won his first 6 games and left Kasparov and Shirov 2.5 points behind. This was arguably the greatest achievement in the history of tournament chess. 13 games, 1994 KID 13 games, 1935-2014 KID for black 55 games, 1923-2009 King's gambit 6 games, 1941-1968 King's Indian Attack Compilation.
