In this video, I teach the Ponziani opening! This is a great opening that I stumbled upon due to some videos from Eric Rosen, and my friend Jay, who released a chessable course on the opening (that you can find right here: https://www.chessable.com/the-devious... ). I have taken a lot of inspiration from Jay's chessable course, so if you feel that you need to explore some lines in greater detail, check it out, it is completely free as well!

I really enjoy the simplicity of this opening, and the sneaky traps that come with seemingly innocuous moves. It is my great pleasure to perhaps introduce you to this wonderful opening :D.
