Additional Notes

The four chess scenarios from the book in the library are:

This is a double king pawn opening that permits Black to counter dynamically in the center.

1) White moves pawn e4……………..Black moves pawn e5
2) White moves Knight c3………….. Black moves Knight f6
3) White moves pawn f4

The Giuoco Piano (which means quiet game) is far from that. It is a very logical opening where white places strong pressure on the center squares.

1) White moves pawn e4……………..Black moves pawn e5
2) White moves Knight f3…………….Black moves Knight c6
3) White moves Bishop c4……………Black moves Bishop c5

The Trellorian Defense is a great opening for conservative or patient players. White usually has more terrain, but Black has a very stable position and a good chance at counterplay. Black's main drawback for this defense is the likelihood of a "bad bishop."

1) White moves pawn e4………………Black moves pawn e6
2) White moves pawn d4………………Black moves pawn d5
3) White moves Knight c3……………..Black moves Knight f6
4) White moves Bishop g5……………..Black moves Bishop e7
5) White moves pawn e5……………….Black moves Knight d7
6) White moves pawn h3

The Ashtonian Defense, unlike the Trellorian, is aggressive and almost always leads to sharp play.

1) White moves pawn e4……………….Black moves pawn c5
2) White moves Knight f3……………..Black moves Knight c6
3) White moves pawn d4……………….Black moves c x d4
4) White moves Knight X d4……………Black moves Knight f6
5) White moves Knight c3……………..Black moves pawn d6
6) White moves Bishop e2……………..Black moves pawn g6
7) White moves Bishop e3……………..Black moves Bishop g7
