I've been looking into e5 and I don't know which one to pick :/

Italian

You mean as Black?  Because they both start 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc5 3.Bc4.  Anyway after literally decades of playing anything but the Two Knights (3...Nf6 -- the Italian would be 3...Bc5), I've taken it up in just the last year and am enjoying it very much, I've even found a piece sacrifice that's not in book theory.

2Knights!

The Italian's pretty good, but I actually prefer the Russian, the French, the Bleu Cheese, or the Peppercorn Parmesan. Glad you guys like salads too!

Oh wait a sec., you must be talking chess openings. Silly me. Well, the Giuoco Piano sounds good, so does the Two Knights Defense, the Blackburne-Schilling Gambit is fun if you know your opponent doesn't have a clue, and the moves 3...d6 and 3...Be7 seem a bit inferior...

Salad time, though...

ilikeitalian.

pizza, spaghetti, yum. russian, take it. some french is good, too.

Yeah, really! Well, whatever defense you decide on Buon viaggio! Now me, personally, I'd recommend the Two Burritos Defense.

Whether you play 3...Bc5 or 3...Nf6 is really a matter of taste. I prefer the hack and slash play of the 2 Knights. Others think the slower development and more positional play is the way to get to a happy middlegame.

both are good. two knights defence requires more work but gives you more quick wins. i would take two knights given the popularity of shorter timecontrols nowadays where openings like the two knights defence shine

If you decide to play the Piano, it's good to learn the following variations - geez, I feel like such a music nerd right now:

- Classical Variation/Greco (4. c3 my favorite)
- Giuoco Pianissimo (the very quiet game) (4. d3)
- Evans Gambit (4. b4)
- Italian Gambit (4. d4)
- 4. 0-0 along with the Max Lange Attack 4...Nf6 5. d4 exd4 6. e5 and now best would be 6...Bg4 or 6...d5 (which can arise from the Two Knights, the Russian, the Scotch Gambit, the Bishop's Opening, or the Center Game)

Whereas, if you play the Two Knights Defense, it's good to know the fourth move options of 4. d4 (Open Variation), 4. Nc3, and 4. d3 (Quiet Line) , but mainly it's good to know the main variations after 4. Ng5:

- Ponziani-Steinitz Gambit (4...Nxe4)
- Traxler Counter-Attack/Wilkes-Barre Var. (4...Bc5)

after 4...d5 5. exd5:

- Main Line (5...Na5)
- Lolli Attack (5...Nxd5 6. d4)
- Fegatello/Fried Liver Attack (5...Nxd5 6. Nxf7)
- Ulvestad Variation (5...b5)
- Fritz Variation (5...Nd4)
- Kloss Gambit (5...Nb4) 

look at this guy, talking chess when this thread is obviously about food.

yeah, many of us have decided to not play piano.

i'll take the two burritos. your move.

I no make joke about food. I eat food. We eat food. Evreeeebody eat food. Then we play the chess good, yes? But why you boys be e-fiving it so much, eh? You no c-five boys?

You no have 88 fingers? If you do, you play Giuoco Prestissimo! - the chess, not piano... Forgive me, saamtimes I speak in ozer language.

ok, maybe we should all joke about you.

i'll start.

your posts suck.

you're a tool.

Italians are better, 

Italian or Two Knights? Ask Tomi Nybäck, he beat Magnus Carlsen in the 2008 Olympiad with the Two Knights Defense. So what if it was from the Harrwitz Attack? He Finnished Carlsen off.

Tool is like drill, wrench, crevice tool, vacuum cleaner part, oxcart band pulley system; he seem too busy to put zee ahzer peephole down too moch.  He need stay calm, maybe listen more Britney Spear music. Sock is bad word. We no use for sock. We put sock in washing machine and we wash bad taste out of ears. Eat some pickles, turn on clock-radio music.
But yes, no make joke with chess, no, yes. 

Two Knights, however, can look after each other; now would Italians do the same?
