Even with a win, we can still learn. I win games like this too, but I don't know where I got the advantage and often see moves I could have made to have a stronger evaluation.
Stockfish says.....
7. Nbd2 (.04) (instead of c3, which brings white down to -.29)
8... Bxc3 (-.23) (instead of Nxc3 which brings white up to .31)
10. (Stockfish can't make up its mind, Bxf7+ shot up quickly and bounced around but is now resting in third with .28. Finally, it gives Ba3 1.42)
This seems where black has the loss. Black should have developed pieces and played 9... d5 which would have counterattacked white's bishop and given its other bishop space to move.
So, is this a common issue with the Giuoco Piano or just this variation (the c3 square)? Stockfish's answer for black seems to be to open up the central files. In the Ruy Lopez, I don't usually play this way, instead circling the bishop around the center of pawns.
The problem for black here wasthat he was too greedy and took a rook when he should have been lookinto his own king safety ...never take the rook
It doesn't happen very often but don't you just love it when your opponent falls for the aitken variation of the Giuoco Piano! . for those who haven't seen it lately..checkout the following example.
