- UPDATE: DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO OR SHARE IT! It is ten years old and the idea is no longer novel. Everybody plays ..d5 as black now which kind of kills it. I suggest the London System instead.

The Ponziani is the main aggressive/surprise opening I used as White when I climbed from 1600 USCF to eventually 2130 over about three years. My coach GM Alex Wojtkiewicz (R.I.P.) suggested it as an easy way to trip up class players who likely don't have time to study this somewhat obscure opening and figure they'll just play it over the board if they encounter it. Unfortunately for them, the "natural" moves are the wrong ones and they can easily fall into some traps. This opening is also good for online blitz and bullet games for the same reason.
You don't switch sides enough. I need to see it not just from the black side and white side, but also from the left side, the right side, and upside down.
Interesting recommendation, youtube. I literally never even played chess or watched videos about it. lol
Here's a great opening for beating sub-500 players:

"there's different ways just look it up" lol this is me looking it up >_<
"He does this or maybe he will do that, or that...I just take here or push here, or there, or even there because he will likely move here or here, or maybe there or there...this is how I won in 14 moves against a chess- master in a tournament"....Are you kidding me? This is the most convoluted and all around happenstance tutorial I have ever seen. LOL!!
bro, the constant switching sides is the most annoying thing ever...
"More likely he's gonna make a mistake and you'll win the game"... Wow, way to go. With this kind of thinking you're never going anywhere. It's just as likely that you will make a mistake and the opponent win the game.
I personally like the flipping of the board. It helps to see the position from both sides.
I played this opening and messed up...got dominated, desperately trying to avoid checkmate, lost a rook going to the endgame...with my dying breath I made a mad bishop sack exposing black king's position..and in 3 moves delivered checkmate!!
Please could someone advise what to do if 3. ... D6, 4. QA5, BD7?
i really appreciate this video. it taught me a lot and am now using this. thanks for taking the time to post it.
Plz, im a beginner and i dont understand what happens at
The Caro-Kann folks. The Caro-Kann.
I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for describing what you are thinking, etc. It's what makes it for me.
Brilliant video, i love this opening and your video will help loads of players.
Dude, .. are you sure it is sub 2000 not 200 ?
Stop switching sides it makes my head giddy
I went to trucker school with a guy from ghetto pittsburgh, really nice guy trying to make a better life for himself and his family. We'd have a few drinks, play some chess. We were both defensive players setting up massive chain reactions where whoever made the first offensive move would end at a disadvantage. His friends would get bored watching us but in our own little world we both knew exactly what the other was plotting. Those games typically ended with just King+Queen on each side, until someone made a sacrifice play to eliminate both Queens from the board. GGs Joe
Really good work on the camera, showing the other perspective really helps bring the psychology of decision making across.
