Scotch vs Ponziani

Sort:
GM_Blunderfish

I play the 2 knights defense against the Italian and a lot of players turn it into a ponziani neumann gambit and I would like to see knight attacks (the most common move) a bit more. I play Fritz as black and Fried Liver as white assuming my opponent plays as I choose them to. If giuoco piano, then giuoco pianissimo four knights. If 2 knights, then FRIED LIVERING TIME and they might play polerio (☑️) or Fritz (‼️). If 5. Nxd5?! then 6. Nxf7 Fried Liver!!. They are forced to play Kxf7➡️. Then I play Qf3+!!. If Kg7 (??+M3) then Qxd5!! Qxd5➡️ Bxd5! Be6➡️ Bxe6#!. If polerio then pester them with check. If Fritz then I’m dead 💀. If ANYTHING ELSE then OOF them.
