Well apart from the fact that he usually plays tricky gambits and trap openings, he's a very good and educational content creator. Still, I would suggest him to increase playing sessions with other mainline openings to be honest.

A suggestion: quit playing blitz. Only play 30 min+ games. Gives you time to think and calculate and improve on those parts (maybe u already do this, but it helped me a lot!)

also, if you play online and wanna play irl chess, stop using arrows to calculate because ur gonna struggle a lot.

Thank you, Eric! I really like the Ponziani. I recently joined a chess club and registered for the club championship. The first game I played against my (1500) opponent went downhill pretty quickly after 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 Bc5 4. d4 exd4 5. cxd4 Bb4+ 6. Nc3 d6 7. d5 Ne5 8. Qa4+ (so the exact same position Eric shows at 2:40 !) Credit to you, Eric! For first introducing me to this opening

Hi Eric! Just wanted to say thank you for this amazing video! I've been studying it and using in online games for around a year, with quite some success. And last week I took part in my first OTB tournament. It didn't go that well because of poor time management, but in my last game I finally got to play the Ponziani and absolutely crushed my opponent. Felt reeealy good! Thanks again for all the efforts, looking forward to new great lessons!

@daanrosies7694 2 года назад

This is actually a really great trap / opening for white because of the many forcing variations this opening has. Most people don't know counterplay against these lines. This opening will surely help me improve as a chess player. Thank for the opening!

@mjsoupcampbell 2 года назад

A very fun line that black can try is the Vukovic Gambit which goes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 Nf6 4. d4 Nxe4 5. d5 Bc5! I’d be interested to see Eric’s analysis of this line. Black sacrifices at least a piece in the main continuation but gets a good attack against the white king.

19:56 The only move I'm worried about here is Qb6 from black (I was going through this with an engine), it's still supposed to be crushing for white, but the follow ups (that the engine suggests at least) seem less intuitive for me to play as a new player.

@tonysu8860 2 года назад

The real reason why everyone who plays 1.e4 must learn the ideas in the Ponziani... The ideas Eric shows underlie the positions in a great many double KP opening positions which are merely the Ponziani decorated with additional piece placements. The "traps" Eric shows are underlying latent ideas in similar positions to be aware of even if they don't work like the Ponziani proper. And, from the Black side... If you play a double KP opening, it's a way for White to play simply without memorizing vast amounts of Ruy and Giucco theory, so it's not as though White wouldn't play the Ponziani against you... But, you should also be happy to see that White is not choosing to pose the most difficult and complex problems to you by choosing to play the Ponziani. Avoid the tactical traps and you should gain equality with natural play.
