This is a quick chess opening crash course by GM Igor Smirnov on the Ponziani Chess Opening, which arises after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3. White plays c3 to prepare for an immediate 4.d4, aiming to establish a strong center.

The Ponziani Opening is one of the oldest and most underrated chess openings. Filled with deadly traps at almost every move, it allows White to get a winning position in just 8 moves in one of the most frequently played lines.

Watch the full video lesson as GM Smirnov explains all the variations of the Ponziani Opening, including Black's most common responses: 3...Nf6, 3...Bc5, 3...d6, and 3...d5.
