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:
His first mistake was playing someone like you in the first place…yes I stole that from GoT but it's relevant here haha
what about knight e7 at 7:20
20:39 why didn’t he just develop his other knight? His pawn would have been safe and his queenside knight wasn’t in any danger.
Which game is this
3:14 I think pawn a8 would be a good move.
Wooden shield xd
What website do you use
I thought I was bad bad scaling I think a game against him would be close
Youtube: Recommends chess video altrought i've never played chess before
Me: K, then (Proceeds to watch the video)
Also Yt:Instantly shows me a chess course add
3:30 wouldve taken knight with knight
Then his queen would be in danger
His pawn would take it
Move queen to where that pawn is and take it then kings in check
He might move his queen down to prevent this
Take rook and check king again
Depending on what happens maybe get another bishop too
Q: does chess improve concentration?
A: yes it does (reading questions while playing a chess game)
Oh hey it looks like he moved something…
My chess punishing took less than 20-minutes and he was playing 15 players at once.
subscribed for the Derick = D pawn, Eric = E pawn joke. i like seeing unusual openings at least once even if its not something i would play, and having someone explain general principles of certain situational problems eg. when to keep piling on a pin and when is best to trade and cut your losses 🙂
Helpful hint: At 28 seconds you said "Seems like he understands basics". I am a native born English speaker and for fun I played that sentence 5x and could not understand you. Honestly its complete gibberish. Hint: Please try to be more self aware that you have a tendency to "Rush Mumble"and you aren't articulating your consonants so its hard to hear each individual word in a sentence. After listening further maybe English is not your 1st language? Regardless you should seriously consider elocution video lessons to tighten up your manner of pronunciation because if teaching is important to you then understand its not just about content but delivery as well. I'm moving on to learn from someone else at this point because I cannot understand what you are saying far to often. I apologize if this sounds judgmental or it is embarrassing to you but honestly I'm a teacher and us teachers try to help one another out when we can.
What app is this? I wanna learn how to play chess ♟
1500 rating after 3 months of playing? yeah right
I’m so new that my best tactic is in game choice – I’ve won more games by letting the opponent run out of time than I have by checkmates, so I don’t play games with timers longer than 10 minutes any more. I am heavily overrated.
Oh, so it’s pronounced leaches… cool
Omg
at 11:36 i think you made a mistake… why not knight A7?
What online chess game is this?
and here I am losing to the fools mate.
12:15 would Queen takes bishop work?
Where is punishment?
10:20 would there have been a downside to moving Nf7(the move I personally would have played) here, rather than capturing on c6? Nf7 puts pressure on both rooks, and opens the queen to 2 attacks(knight on f7 and bishop on f4), which caught my attention.
I usually sacrifice my king after 3rd move
His energy is so relaxing
He blinks all the fucking time
how does he make the green lines without moving the piece? im. kinda new haha
My biggest fear is to play against new to chess players. They would trade anything, 15 and it's almost end game
I think I can kick your a…
Why he didnt resign or why are you touchre him
I was wondering how at minute ten would bishop c4 fare for white
liiiiiiiiiiiiichesss?
"can you play home by phillip phillips"
I see that someone is a man of culture…
Could you please swallow a bit louder? IT really helps me to play more agressive.
why don't you play people better instead of beginners, dork.
12:15 wasn't at that time better to eat the bishop that is in front of the queen?
why did not u take kf7? 10:04
I think lichess means 51chess
You crazy man loved the video ❤️
Blunder by you at 7:38 Nf7 would be folk on queen and two rooks
16:45 I was thinking he could’ve gone F6 knight and force the rook on G8 rook and then fork D7 knight. But then again I am an inexperienced chess player (I’m like 600 in rating lol).
Explanation: If the rook moved on D8 then he could’ve been able to take the rook, and if the opponent went on D7 then he could’ve been able to protect with knight G6 capturing Pawn and protecting the bishop. What makes this even more valid is that Eric Rosen was 14+ up in material so a sensible guy wouldn’t have done that. The only move left that isn’t a Knight or bishop captures in this position for Rosen is H8 Rook which would leave itself isolated.
Hello! I enjoyed the video, but I'd the guy that lost. haha Could you advise me on how to start? Any book or sequence of book, knowledge I should look for?

Eric is god at chess
9LX = chess 960 = Fischer Randim Chess is not a new format! It was created by Bobby Fischer.
3:30 wouldve taken knight with knight

Once the black queen is dead, it's no point to continue.
