Play online chess |  Subject: Ponziani Opening
Message:
I could have included this in the unusual openings thread but I think this is so unusual and yet so playable it deserves a thread of its own.

I will be interested to hear your views.
Hope you are having a nice weekend!
Bye for now.

Others include Gregory Young, who tied for first in the 2008 United States Junior Championship, and Yian Liou, who tied for first in the United States Cadet Championship (for players under 16) last year. He has also coached Saratoga High School to six straight California chess titles. Aigner, 36, is a master, and ...
