I never liked the Italian style... |

the closed Italian system. I think it gives no advantage to white. |

in my opinion, it weakeness the center. white will be left with the e5 pawn in the middle of the board with not so much defenders on it while black will concentrate his pressure towards it. |

black has 3 developed pieces while white only two. the e5 pawn is kinda weak. |

white try to push black. its not a real attack. black will manage soon. |

the e7 knight can move now. |

no choice. the white bishop is better than the black knight. also, h7 seems a bit weak. |

still, want the exchange. |

the h4 bishop has to find a better place. also, e5 is now threatened twice. |

|

now the g3 bishop is kind of stupid. it is really useless. black only needs to find a solution for the c8 bishop. |

strange but seems to be very strong. after white will take the pawn (e.p.) and black will take with the g pawn, black's d pawn will be a very strong one. also, the c8 bishop will be free and the g file will be a big problem for white. |

if not, 18...f4! and no bishop... |

white tries to find a better place for his bishop, apperantly, after Kh8 it is also useless there. |

obviously black has the advantage. f4 was a fine move which makes the difference. |
