The gambits are the most brilliant and animated of all the openings,
full of hair-breadth 'scapes and perilous vicissitudes, but affording an
infinitude of beautiful and daring combinations.
"_Giuoco Piano_," a solid and instructive modification of the King's
Knight's game, is safe and for drawing games generally practised by the
leading players. The opening moves are:
WHITE. BLACK.

_To Interpose._--When the King is checked, or any valuable Piece in
danger from the attack of an enemy, you are said to _interpose_ a man
when you play it between the attacked and attacking Piece.
_Isolated Pawn._--A Pawn which stands alone, without the support and
protection of other Pawns, is termed an _isolated_ Pawn.
_J'adoube._--A French expression, signifying "I arrange," or "I
replace," which is used by a player when he touches a man merely to
adjust its position on the board, without intending to play it. (See the
7th law.)
_Minor Pieces._--The Bishop and Knight, in contradistinction to the
Queen and Rook, are called _Minor Pieces_.
