Ponziani Opening
Sort:
This is a trap
How many games have you won with it?
Quite a lot. I some times use it in tournaments
I dont believe it. I saw it in vote chess. My team was on the other end of it. The first time i get to see it in play and it is being used on me. I warned my team and one idiot plus another idiot lead the team right into the trap. I told them to avoid it but did not tell them the name of the opening.
Well lets just say it got real heated. Not going to back down when i know i am right and trying to win. I wanted to use to find out first hand how good this opening is in games. Consider me convinced. Never thought i would see in vote chess. Getting a team to try something like this is very difficult.
Again thanks for sharing this opening.
What reply did your team do?
It was so ugly. We played the Nadjorf against it. Oh i forgot to mention we were set up. I looked over it... must have been a 1000 times and still looked like the perfect set up. They took the King Pawn with King Knight and i just could not believe it. The rule with most Gambits is dont take the pawn when it is offered. They kept saying they did not see anything wrong with or any traps. Next move every Dam in the know world must have cracked and broke loose. I never saw so much damage down in one move. Never seen so many violations of openig theory broke in one move in vote chess.
Can you send me the link to the vote chess game. I want to see it myself.
Also, did you resign?
I went straight to calling them trying to give the game away. It was similiar to #2 using the Najdorf. One of them had to leave because he could not validate taking the pawn so he got fustrated and left. His partner in crime and i do mean crime shortly left after him. Did to circumstances unable to provide the exact game action is pending.
Just imagine using this opening and being able to attack with multiple plans all good.
Yeah it is a really cool opening. I have just made another tournament. It is a thematic tournament for the english opening.
