Aggressive Chess Opening Line for White: Dubov's Italian

If you are looking for an aggressive opening line with White that forces Black to respond with near-perfect precision, Dubov's Italian might be for you. In the video, I review 3 games played by Grandmaster Christopher Yoo, one of the brightest young American talents, to illustrate how dangerous this opening can be. Especially, when black is not well prepared. That being said, I do not think this would make a good main repertoire, but rather a surprise weapon when opponent least expects it.

To learn more about this opening, I recommend checking out following courses:
