How does one recover their lost love of chess programming?

I believe it's "Giuoco". Giuoco Piano means "quiet game". That's one of about 5 chess questions I can answer.

I actually think the last word might be pianissimo or some such Itialian word as well. but the spelling I gave is what is in my chess books (admittedly old). You can even find that spelling via google... whether it is right or wrong is another issue...

1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 is Giuoco Piano (Slow game)

1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. d3 is Giuoco Pianissimo (Very very slow game)

It's hard to shoot total blanks with google. In addition, neither google translate nor babelfish will even recognize "guiko" as an Italian word.
