Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Ponziani Opening || Crushing the Jaenisch Gambit!

There are many good chess openings for white against e5 including the King’s Gambit, Danish Gambit, Vienna Game, Giuoco Piano, Italian Game, Ruy Lopez, Three Knights Variation, Evan’s Gambit, and Fried Liver Attack. However, in today’s video we cover the opening theory on a rare but strong chess opening, the Ponziani. The Ponziani Opening starts with the following moves.

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. c3

By playing the Ponziani Opening, we are making out intentions clear, preparing an immediate d4 push, fighting for the center of the board, which follows chess opening strategy. When playing the Ponziani Opening, we look to follow chess opening theory, chess opening ideas, chess opening moves, chess opening principles, chess opening traps, chess opening tricks, chess opening tips, chess opening tricks, and secret checkmate strategy. Many e5 players are not prepared for the Ponziani Opening, because it’s so rare. However, this does not take away from how strong it is! Some e5 players are prepared though, and one of the strongest responses to the Ponziani Opening is the Jaenisch Gambit or Jaenisch Counterattack. The Jaenisch Gambit is a strong response against the Ponziani Opening, and white can fall into trouble quickly if not prepared. That’s why we took the time to make this chess opening video covering the chess strategy, chess theory, chess tactics, chess opening variations, chess opening lines, chess tricks, chess traps, chess moves, and chess ideas surrounding the Ponziani Opening. The Ponziani Opening is a dangerous chess opening for white, and we hope you enjoy learning the chess opening theory!

  1. thank you this was really helpful especially since i'm low elo and my opponents don't know the line

  2. This is such a nasty opening. I love it

  3. The positional advantage that white gets in exchange for early points is so fantastic specifically against all lower rated Ops because most of them just take without hesitation and assume they have a winning advantage without giving any regard to the extreme positional disadvantage they are at.

    I also love how aggressive this opening is and how utterly unheard of it is. A lot of my Ops don’t even play the Nf6 or d5 and just end up ruining their own game.

  4. Great video Bro, please keep it up.

  5. I don't like to learn openings but this video isn't frustrating at all, it's straight to the point with clear explanations.

  6. I think I just found the best theoretical channel of chess. Studying these by myself is hard and buying a bunch of books is really costly.

  7. Still very scary, seems so easy to go wrong

  8. Where your videos really help is you go into the full path of the game rather than just showing the first few openinv moves!!

  9. What if after our d4 they also play d5 claiming the center?
