Beautiful.
Dead End.
This is the Ponziani Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3). If White is not careful, he will get a cramped position, lose control of the center, and perhaps lose the game quickly. Here is a miniature game I played as Black against the Ponziaini.

Really beautiful finale . Whites moves 15.Re1?? amd then 16.g3?? are very bad moves . You response very well on this errors.
I looked at the position again and I think I found a solid defense for white (16. Bf3). Comments?
That is true. I probably would have played the continuation of Rae8.
[COMMENT DELETED]
I thought 17. Re3 might work, but it fails to 17.....Rxe3 (18. fxe3 Bxe3+ ffo0rking the queen).
(If I spell "not-spoon" correctly, it auto-censors to a naughty word.)
That Bf3 is easy clear move , nothing special , because i say that g3 ?? is very bad move. also Bf1 is not bad defence , but this move do not bloks Blacks f pawn . Anyway Re1 is passive move . But g3 is last error that made White . Also i can say that on 16...fg white can play 17 . Bf3 or 17 . Bf1 but Black wins again very easy with Bf2+.They matt black or will win queen .
Here is an unrated live chess game I played. I managed to get a great mating combo in the end. Several inaccuracies and mistakes I know, but I got there in the end. All comments and help are welcome! Thank you.
