Ask anything about the Ponziani.

It is a fun opening, with quite a few traps.

I sometimes occur this position, in that case what do I do:

also is it viable for higher ratings, like 2000?

Just develop quickly, as black cannot develop their light squared bishop to a good square.

Some titled players have used it in their games, and at their level, according to the chess.com openings explorer, white wins 40% of the games, black wins 35% of the games, and 35% of the games are draws.

okay, thanks

Is it good for 1200 elo?

It is a nice opening, with multiple traps, and you can get an early advantage, if you know it properly.
