The Ponziani was my signature opening when I was invited to the district's chess champion.

Here's how to play it (btw if they go any move instead of d5, go d4 and be careful of f5)

If they go any move instead of d4(ex: a1) you take the center.

Same with Nf6, if Nf6 takes on e4, push d4 to d5 and here is a trick for Nxe4:

If Ka5, go b4 and if Kb4, go Qa4, Kc2 does not hurt you btw, cuz Qxc2 wins the knight, and your opponent's feelings.

If d5, here is what to do:

If xe4, go Kxe5. If they don't take, also go Kxe5 and haunt the c6 knight (by putting pressure on it).
