Ponziani opening traps

Sort:
lucky_Nan

The ponziani is kinda putting your queen side knight "harder" to get into the game.

lucky_Nan

But white has a wining attack

 

lucky_Nan

black easily falls into traps, and they either lose the game, or lose all their amy pieces.

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.

Ponziani looks very powerful. I want to give it a try.

Crazy trap by Gothamchess on YT

Witch_Haesel

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)

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. happy
