Ponziani Opening

Sort:
ponz111

I BELIEVE BOTH THE PONZIANI AND THE RUY L,OPEZ ARE DRAWS WHEN NEITHER SIDE MAKES A MISTAKE.

ALSO ANY OPENING WHICH STARTS WITH  1, e4   e5  IS A DRAW WHEN NEITHER SIDE MAKES A MISTAKE.

THE SMITH MORRA GAMBIT MAY NOW BE REFUTED  1. e4   c5  2. d4   cxd4  3. c3  RIP KEN SMITH

FAVORITE OPENINGS FOR ME INCL.UDE 1. d4  and  1. c4

Hello Ponzi, so the English 1.c4, is not your 2nd favourite opening anymore?

The Ponziani Opening is a great opening for the class A player. You will score many wins.

The Ponziani  Opening is far better than its reputation, I have won many games with the Ponziani vs all classes of players up to grandmaster.

Have not yet won any games vs Super Grand Masters--but maybe that is because I have not played against any Suoer Grand Masters? tongue.pngwink.pngtongue.png

complex--I don't remember that offer. Probably it was in a certain  variation of the Ponziani. 

There were some strong players who disagreed with me on this variatioin  1. e4  e5 2. Nf3  Nc6

3. c3    d5   4. Bb5   ---until I proved them wrong.

Pfren is a very strong correspondence player and  knows the Ponziani.

By the way--all openings which start 1. e4  e5  are draws with very best play from  both sides.

hi happy.png i have some analysis of the Vukovic gambit variation. what do you think of it? is this something a human being could play or is this sort of crazy stuff just for computers? (there is also some analysis of some other lines that i looked into)

understandable. besides it would be rather hard to memorize exactly how to make a draw in every line when down a bunch of material, and even then you might have to play it out and ruin the draw....

Have noticed there has been many recent and interersting postings on you tube on the Ponziani.

Ponziani fans will really enjoy,tongue.png

an account. i have read identical profiles of yours on at least two accounts--unless you changed your username which would also account for it.

pawnstar. 

How do youi know there were 2 accounts??  I have one account only but often change the photo.

I never change my user name.

if i stumble across the other one i will get back to you, but i dont remember the name any longer. the profile was identical to your current one. and that is one unique profile you have there. no getting that mixed up with another.

If your opponents do not play  3. c3    d5   4. Qa5  you are playing people who do not have the slightest clue avbout how to Play the Ponziani.
