1. From e2 to e4, charge towards the king's army; from E7 to e5, confront the king's army
2. Horses g1- f3, capture troops; horses b8- c6, protect troops
3. Elephants f1- c4 Italian Elephants f8- c5 Italy
Here, the first three steps of Italy's layout have been formed, with the main strategic ideas of both sides: to threaten and attack each other's weaknesses (weak troops in f2 and f7 grids).
4. C2-C3 soldiers take root, while G8-F6 horses capture soldiers
5. From d2 to d4, charge towards the rear and receive e5 x d4 troops
6. c3 × d4 soldiers eat elephants c5-b4+elephant general
Both sides quickly mobilized their forces and threatened each other's defending king at any time. In the central area, a fierce battle ensued.

8. Horse b1 × d2. Horse eats elephant d7-d5. Rear charge
9. e4 × d5 soldiers eat soldiers, f6 × d5 horses eat soldiers
Through the exchange of some sub forces between the two sides, the situation began to simplify, but the battle flames in the central area were still burning
10. Rear d1-b3 diagonal horse c6-e7 chain horse
11. 0-0 Short Translocation 0-0 Short Translocation
