Started a goup for those who are interested in the Italian Game. Drop in and share your thoughts.

I play the sicilian as if it is a natural reflex. I will even flip it and play it from the white side if my opponeent gives me the oppurtunity.
So, start a group if you can!!
I will be sure to join

The beautiful thing with chess is that after all it remains a question of tastes. Personally speaking i like to play on the W side of a sicilian, just rattling out sharp moves without knowing much theory usually brings me to a good position. I don't think i'll ever play 1...c5 as B, but instead i used to play the disrespected 1...Nf6(alekhine) with good results and great love.
I use the italian quite a lot in blitz, the romantic and slightly unsound 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 Bb4+ 7.Nc3!? variation. =+ or not, it's far from easy for a unprepared B to find the corret path in the complications of the moller attack.
