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.

Guico Piano

Message:
I think Guico Piano or Ponziani are the same.Do not you mention this moves:

e4 e5 N3 Nc6,c3 and goes on maybe Bc4 Bc5 before c3.It is not so unusual i think,Kasparov has played with it several times.

Ponziani

Message:
No there not, slight difference in move order.
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 then white plays c3.
Acording to my MCO it states 3---d5 provides an immediate crisis and put a finger on the weak spot of white's strategy.
