Sicilian Defense Team: lichess.org/team/the-sicilian-defense1e4!!e52Nf3...Most common move for white.2.f4Another amazing opening. For more on this, the King's Gambit, go here: lichess.org/study/M6BEkhxr2...Nc6Black's most common move. Now white has a few moves. Bb5, Bc4, and d4 are the most common. But 3. c3 is an interesting and offbeat alternative that is very rare but completely playable. This is known as the Ponziani Opening.3c3...The Ponziani Opening, the move we'll be looking at.

  39. Oumaro why rook to d1 with the idea to play b4 ? is it related ??
  40. Oumaro why not play b4 before even rook d1
  41. Oumaro i refer to the Qd6 variation chapter 6
  42. ParamAsAlways Hey fellas
  43. charcode78 Hi
  44. chessindividual I never heard of the Ponziani Opening.
  45. FunnyAnimatorJimTV The idea with 13.Rb1 is you get off the a-file so when you play b4, you can safely play a3 to support the pawn and not be in a pin.
  46. FunnyAnimatorJimTV 13.0-0-0 works as well.
  47. FunnyAnimatorJimTV (This is in chapter 8)
  48. Allonautilus c3 is often played in the Italian Game to set up d4.
  49. Astiii hey
  50. Astiii is this a live chat ?

  109. WAS07 very good study
  110. Kreminelo hello
  111. jschnall Thanks, this is a pretty comprehensive study.
  112. jschnall My only beef is that many of the final positions you assert are "clearly better" for white, the engine evals as equal or slightly worse.
  113. jschnall Also, I think in the Reti line, 7... Ng6 is better for black than Nf5.
  114. jschnall There are several reasons for this, one of which is that black isn't forced to trade the bishop for a knight.
  115. KingJenko Anyone know how the Mainline continues if black doesn't queenside castle on 11. ?
  116. four4for4s anyone else here because of Rosen
  117. Bananadancer me
  118. analmarginal2019 me
  119. The-Frodge me
  120. widzisz Yes, Rosen brought me here :)
  121. JasonCheckmason Eric Rosen is the reason I am here as well
  122. Fossil87 Same here
  123. Fossil87 after watchin some Rosen's Vid, im interested in Ponziani
  124. lukecardoza same
  125. lukecardoza hi Mage i see u everywhere lol
  126. Etothetaui In the Jaenisch Counterattack, what do you do if black plays Bc5 on move 5?
  127. Etothetaui It is the engine move but I'm not sure what to do against it
  128. damneasy Take the knight?
  129. Williamtruong1904 Eric Rosen pulled me here too :)
  130. Puard850 hi
  131. Mrbreadwater In the Fraser gambit, 14... Nh3 is a pretty sneaky trap imo, you lose your Queen if gxh3. 14.Ng4 is also extremely difficult to play against
  132. ShownTechFlas eric rosen brought me here :)
  133. SuperMan1123 who is eric rosen?
  134. SuperMan1123 or what is it?
  135. RedSword69 It's a kind of yummy cake
