In this video I play a rapid chess game against fellow Twitch Streamer vengaard_live () who is a relatively new to chess— only been playing for ~3 months! In the game, I unleash the Ponziani Opening and proceed to show no mercy. I hope this game provides some instructional value when it comes to exploiting common beginner mistakes and using basic tactics to seize the advantage. Towards the end of the game (once I achieved a decisive material advantage) I put more of my focus towards answering various questions from the Twitch Chat. After the game, I provide some basic tips and advice and show how black could have improve the opening play against the Ponziani.

London Opening 8-hour video course:
Vanguard definitely wasn't playing like a "3 month" beginner though. Either stream sniping or has been playing far longer than he said he had been playing
Just a reminder that you can’t castle out of check, only beforehand or after. The general rule is you can’t castle into, out of, or through check
11:46 , why didn't you take it with the queen. Isn't that a check mate? Please someone help
9:45 what about taking the pawn if he takes you put him in check with the queen
“He’s been playing for 3 months…. NO MERCY”
Black had bishop d5…
7:39 I wonder why the knight cant go to F7 and fork the two rooks and queen…
Min 11:37 ¿Wasn't it better to move Na7?
Leeeeeeeeeechess not lyyyyyyychessss
While playing with friends: My pieces my board i win
Everyone always tells me not to play C3. Why?
Does Chess improve concentration? 6:41 Got distracted 😂
why couldn't the black knight just take the white knight before he moved the white queen to e4
Which platform is this?
Pawn c6 would’ve been an excellent move for black at around 16 minutes deep
I love this opening
Bro it was a mate at 11:35, by taking the rook with queen 🧐
10+8 weird time control
Your attitude is so awesome. Can't quite put it into words, but you're smoother then graphene.
"This is 2:12 AM for me"
Me at 1:37 AM watching: what a fool
Hey man why havent you tried a8 with the horse when the rook came down ? wouldnt that be a better option ?
Eric “Cobra Kai” Rosen
After knight moving to e7 (check), Rxe7 would be a much better move I think : white queen and king in the same line
This is way too funny
11:45 if black had taken with the rook eric would have lost his queen right?
He defended himself surprisingly well for a newb.
16:46
Nf6, Tf8, Nd7?
Wouldn't be a problem if he noticed…
Leeches?
Why didnt he just take the bishop?
11:45 Knight to A7 would have been better.
actually in move number 11 white should have played nf7 it attacks queen and rook and the opponent loses one
7:28 knight F7 and the queen would have been trapped no?
What is your ID name on lichess
What's the app or website?
wow who else likes chess?
I’m not sure he really punished beginner mistakes tho – it was a decent game
That swallowing sound….so annoying 😀
Show some mercy erik
At 11:32 couldnt you have gone a7 with the knight and checkmate with queen on d7 or am i missing something?
“So basically everything is hanging” sounds like one of my games
Queen to e3 would have been a good move ..it defends the bishop and pawn and allows an attack on queen
11 minutes in the game the black could check the white and loose the rook
Me seeing the video's thumbnail and thinkin about saying de rien
Dude it's annoying to hear you swallow in the audio. Jfc.
He’s rather condescending at the beginning, knowing he’s playing a beginner and talking about punishing him. Then he realizes the guy isn’t so much of a novice.
At 21:43 in the game review. Move 7 Qxe4-black to move. When this happened in the game, my initial instinct was Qd5. Offer the queen trade with eyes on Qxg2 if the trade is declined. Queen trade is good for black here, I think. Did I miss something?
Bd7 would have been a stylish mate 🙂
"I have to be careful what I say in the past" 🤣
This was a very complex and beautiful game
U miss the Knight checkmate with the Bishop
