Play online chess |  Subject: Ponziani Opening
Message:
I could have included this in the unusual openings thread but I think this is so unusual and yet so playable it deserves a thread of its own. I have just annotated a game where I played against the Ponziani and won - I called it "A Ponziani Opening". Has anybody played this opening or played against it?
I will be interested to hear your views.
Hope you are having a nice weekend!
Bye for now.

Referring to his earlier title matches against Vladimir Kramnik in 2008, which he won, and Garry Kasparov in 1995, which he lost, he continued, “With Kramnik it went like a dream, with Kasparov it went the opposite way.” Topalov said, “Every single game was ...
