But white has a wining attack
what happened to ponz and his supposed match with pfren
Didn't receive an invitation or challenge. I am available since a few months ago, and if ponz is OK (I think he had some health issues) I can play.
I wouldnt hold my breath
Surprised no-one has properly mentioned the Vukovic gambit yet (or if they have I missed it)
with a lot of initiative (obviously there are other lines)
Any advice for white in this line?
Ne5
I dont know what kind of advice you are looking for when you are forking K+Q. Would you rather promote to a Bishop?
For me this whole line is silly for black. Not only 3...d5 is a better line but even rare moves like 3...Qe7 are better. However if you insist on playing 3...Nf6 then 4. d4 d5 looks better for black. Again if you dont like 4...d5 then 4...Nxe4 5. d5 Nb8 or 4...Nxe4 5. d5 Ne7 6. Nxe5 Ng6 and black is fine.
There is no need to post all those variations where black plays terribly and loses spectacularly.
Anyway, thats my rant for the day.
The ponziani is kinda putting your queen side knight "harder" to get into the game.
