A double click on the database loads the overview of the games. A further double click loads the relevant game. The tab Players lets you sort the games by frequency (with the tab Total). Levon Aronian heads the list with 251 games, followed by Wesley So (234). Furthermore, it is interesting to click on Title; (for that you should have an up-to-date player encyclopaedia) you can see that almost all the world champions had or still have the Italian Game in their repertoire.
The games can be played through or further investigated with an engine or a powerbook.
