This is actually a line of the Spanish Game, the Classical Varation or Cordel Variation. I think you're tranposing to the Moller or Achangel setup in both of these games. I'm not sure. I don't play it. I think White should play h3 to stop your plan. The Ponziani is 3. c3.

Over the last couple months of playing, I have noticed that a lot of players play the ponziani opening against me when I play e5. I have fallen for all of the traps and made all of the mistakes you can make against the opening. However, over the last couple months I have learned from my mistakes and pieced together a response with black that confuses oponents and results in a pretty decent position. I have won countless games using the opening and thought I would share because everyone hates losing to tricks in the opening.
