I love the ponziani opening! I have found that 6.Qb3 works very well. It makes the knight go to b6 where then you cxd4 and you have a small lead in development. In your game you played immediate cxd4 which is perfectly fine. Then after your opponents move Be7(should have played d6) you can continue 7.Qb3 Nb6 8.d5 with a good game for white with plans of castling and great attacking chances. I thought you played very well and deserved the win. Great tactics by the way.
Game Analysis Ponziani Opening
Sort:
The position after 7.Qb3 Nb6 8.d5 looks good indeed, I'll try that another time, after that he can however move his knight to b3, attacking the queen, and white lose a little tempo there, but both his knight are placed at very passive poor squares.
I like the ponziani, since it's hard to defend against if you arent familiar with it, and most players, at least at lower levels aren't xD
This is a game I won, but I want ideas for things I could have done better.
I'm using the Ponziani Opening, I have found that can take many players by suprise.
