The quiet Italian, Giuoco Pianissimo, is an opening that can already be played well in the first tournament games. However, the resulting positions are also quite demanding, making this opening interesting for advanced, amateur, and professional players alike. A decision is rarely made in the opening, so that chess skills come to the fore.
With increasing playing strength and experience, however, knowledge of specific move sequences becomes increasingly important, as this opening is often the springboard for reaching position types from other classical openings. This opening, whether played with White or Black, is a wonderful opening for players of all levels. This is because the demands placed on the precise knowledge of individual variations increase with increasing playing strength. For beginners, it is enough to know a few variations. For the club player, the demands are somewhat higher. The types of position that can be achieved can be very tactical as well as more positional.
We can only advise every chess player to try this opening at least once. You will learn a lot about the correct opening principles and gain experience in the most important types of middlegame. And in the event that this type of position suits you, you can then slowly expand your knowledge of specific variations and opening systems.
