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.

That's an impressive lineup with a fair chance at a medal. They defeated Faroe Islands, 4-0, and Mongolia, 31/2-1/2, in their first two matches.
