Opening Preferences – The Tactical Toolkit

The Ponziani Opening, used recently to good effect, shows jth0511’s willingness to venture beyond the mainstream—sometimes to dazzling effect, like in the last win that ended with a graceful resignation from the opponent. But beware the occasional Scandinavian Defense; there, victory is a little less certain.
