Cool Italian Idea - Study Your Classics

NoseKnowsAll

Excellent mini-lesson. If you're interested, PowerPlayChess (GM Daniel King) has also analyzed several top level games (including this Ding game) with the early Bg5 ideas in the Ruy Lopez and Italian that are in vogue. One example video is here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEtiUS6dSzg ).

It's true that Bh4 is a motif to remember, and it's really cool that you got it in your own game!
