Giuoco Piano and Italian Game

Open ulthiel opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

In the database the line "1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5" is called the "Giuoco Piano", which is correct I think. But then every other line continuing from there is called "Italian Game: ...". There's also "Italian Game: Giuoco Piano, ...". But then the first line above should also be named "Italian Game: Giuoco Piano". This seems to be somewhat inconsistent, or is there an explanation?

In the ECO database of SCID the line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 is called "Italian Game" and 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 is called "Giuoco Piano" (which further distributes into Giuoco Piano, Giuco Pianissimo, and Evans Gambit). I find this quite consistent.

I think the first suggestion (going with Italian Game: Giuoco Piano) ist most consistent. Do you want to submit a pull request?
