Punishing Beginner Mistakes | Ponziani Opening
Watch live on Twitch: — Follow to get notified when I go live!
In this video I play a rapid chess game against fellow Twitch Streamer vengaard_live () who is a relatively new to chess— only been playing for ~3 months! In the game, I unleash the Ponziani Opening and proceed to show no mercy. I hope this game provides some instructional value when it comes to exploiting common beginner mistakes and using basic tactics to seize the advantage. Towards the end of the game (once I achieved a decisive material advantage) I put more of my focus towards answering various questions from the Twitch Chat. After the game, I provide some basic tips and advice and show how black could have improve the opening play against the Ponziani.

London Opening 8-hour video course:
19:33 why was I so baffed by Eric’s lateral thinking with this whole Eric vs Derick line of thinking 😂 truly a big brain player
"I really showed no mercy "
The biggest struggle I have is sleep. If I sleep my 8 hours I simply won't have time to waste on Chess or anything recreational. Atleast not an amount of free time I can use to actually practice Chess. I can't complain because the rest of my time is work and Family, which family is the truest blessing.
Sleep, exercise and diet is the Kay for most things in life. I’m glad that you actually give a realistic response
7:19 Could someone tell me why white didn't play KnE5 →KnF7? Its triple fork
its not leeches.
bishop b5 was a huge mistake.
1500 in 3 months is great
At 11.56 time of video if u wud have taken the rook, he would have been check mate, u missed that part
I manage to play chess one handed while on Pawnhub on the extra screen.
what if he plays bishop d5 attacking the gueen and defending the night? (08 50 time)
Does the Stafford gambit require your opponent to Castle?
Great video. Super informative, thanks. I too have only been playing for 3 months but I would’ve blundered way harder and earlier! 😅
How do you spend the time when waiting for the opponent to move?
Its amusing that you can watch this video at 2x speed and hardly notice the speed up
Why didn't black resign at 14:17 or even at 12:00?
Wow this guy is boring
@8:40 Knight f2 brilliant move. Gives him either he takes the knight and you win a queen or he takes your queen and you win a fork on 2 rooks.
The calmness of your voice and the quality of your commentary is just perfect 👌
Instead of castling why didn’t he attack your bishop with pawn too a6?
4:51 isn't bishop d5 for black winning here?
I sware chess is racist white privilege 🤪😝🤣
12:56 why didn't he take the bishop?
Handsome man
This is so relaxing
Nf7 was a royal fork , attacking 2 rooks and a queen
I love how a beginner is 1500, I've played for a year 3500 games and only just reached 950
AND, at 13:52 isn't an awesome move for black Qd3?
I'm a beginner but I have a question. At 8:58 your queens I threatened by a pawn and you move you queen back to e2. Why don't you move it to e3 instead and have the same line and protect both the Knight AND the Bishop? I bet I'm missing something, but what is that?
0:35 hfhggghv
If li is short for libre, so it would be free chess, I like Lee chess because it rhymes with free chess
9:00 knigh to f7
2:30 What's the problem with Bd7, unpinning the Knight to defend e5?
Ponziani is awsome
no way this guy is 1500
No Bd7# made me sad
this dude is garbage, i destroyed him in chess and my rating is way lower
Idk why change my name to Deric was hilarious but it was…
why are u so late to bring your rooks in?
Idk why change my name to Deric was hilarious but it was…
Wtf is wirth his disusting gulping
I was thinking bishop d5 at move 7 to attack the queen and defend the knight at the same time.
