Thank you for this video! I've been trying out the Ponziani against a bot after watching GothamChess' video, but got completely wrecked and I didn't understand why. This video explains so much more, especially the Jaenisch Counterattack and Vukovich Gambit section was very helpful.
1:23 the engine says it’s best to block the check with the bishop and the most common move for black is to take, this loses a developed piece for black and can develop your knight
This even though engine says it's best to block with bishop, frankly speaking, bishops are slightly more powerful than knights, and personally, I'd prefer losing the knight, rather than the bishop, especially in this opening. Also there is a forced line i have in my repertoire: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 Bc5? 4.d4 exd4 5.cxd4 Bb4+ 6.Nc3 Nf6? 7.Bd3 O-O 8.e5 Nd5 And here we initiate the greek gift, with 9.Bxh7+ Kxh7 10.Ng5+ Kg6 11.h4 Nxc3 12.h5+ Kh6 13.bxc3 Bxc3+ 14.Kf1 Bxa1 15.Qg4 d6 16.Ne6+ Kh7 17.Qxg7# note, that i have covered some common moves, it's not a very forced line, i mean, you know you are winning when the second best move is to sacrifice the queen...
Nice! Thanks for covering the Vukovic Gambit :) It's rarely touched on TH-cam with white or black but since Levy released a ponziani video recently I've finally found a couple. Cheers.
@@Volclus hehehe... Uhh... Yeah... Umm... I went uhh.... 8 games in a row as white and uhh.... approximately everyone has played something else except c3 so... Hehehe I had to switch to the Halloween gambit every time
I’ve been learning this opening but in the beginning my opponents keep playing d5 instead of e5 after I play e4. I’m not sure how to go about it after that
Bro stop posting openings every 20 hour it's hard to learn this much in 2 or 3 days post like 1 opening per week And pls can you tell more counters for Italian game one is not sufficient ❤❤❤❤
This guy taught me my entire repertoire ❤

It’s one of those things where the eval is barely better, but if you want to play that it seems like a perfect option.

One of the best channel for learning chess❤❤
This channel is underrated if you want to learn some openings
Nice instructional video.
I would like to watch you cover the dutch defense leningrad variation
Wow wish granted like immediately
Oh no my Queen!!!!!
amazing tutorial .
Are you planning on making Ruy Lopez and Nimzo Indian videos?
nerd
@@I_Just_Rizzed_You_Up no way you’re calling someone a nerd with a name like that
@@themachodolphin7565 you think the name “Hot Chess Productions” is nerdy? 😂😂
Might try the Ponziani again now
Wonderful
Can you create a video on how to start an attack and stuff?
Great content. Glad I found your channel. Honestly I wish you would go a little bit slower though in the presentation
So if they play anything else that's not Nc6 before you play c3 don't continue with the ponziani?
Example:
e4, e5, Nf3, Nf6 instead of Nc6
Yeah, but since Nc6 is by far the best and most common move, it’s not much of an issue.

Best chess channel.
Thank you for making this video
Can I use this method playing black
Thanks
Amazing
My suggestion 😂
?
I want to see the Pooh gambit, Piglet variation.
Herman Forks
McDermott Skyway
Good video
If they're playing Vukovic, they're not taking Nxf2. 16:21
Why does no one ever show 3.d5 for black? It’s the best move from the engine
Why the hell so I see pawns capturing horizontally in this video
Can u do a video on the Dutch defense?
14:55 why we can't give queen check and fork the knight
Because black can move his pawn to both block the check and defend the knight (f5), the pawn itself is defended by the other knight.
Thanks
Please do something on middlegames
En passant is a funny old rule causing much bemusement and confusion, anger and resentment.🤔
2:00 instead of pinning with the queen I tried pinning with the bishop, do you think it is that important to play queen a4 or both move are ok?
Ruy wi lopez
Whats ur elo?
~2100 rapid on chess.com
Catalan next please
Good idea

That's called the scandinavian defense. Search how to counter it.

If you want less openings, then watch less of my videos
@mansisingh3361 ur the type of person to remind the teacher for homework
Then it will be hard to keep up with your videos
