THE ITALIAN FOUR KNIGHTS' GAME
(ie. The Italian Variation)
White develops his King's Bishop to QB4(c4) on the "Italian" diagonal (a2-g8), ignoring a (superior) 4.B-Kt5. Often found in school/club play (perhaps as a move too late - q.v.), Black should reply with a Kt sacrifice for advantage and a good game. W-Alt.
