The Ponziani Opening enjoys a long history, but for some unknown reason
it has been neglected in recent times. Don't be fooled by its apparently
harmless reputation: the Ponziani is full of tricks and catches many
unsuspecting opponents by surprise. It's also a perfect weapon for those
who don't fancy learning the masses of theory associated with more
high-profile openings like the Ruy Lopez. In Play the Ponziani, Dave
Taylor and Keith Hayward present a comprehensive guide to this
intriguing opening. They provide coverage of all the main lines,
identify the best lines for both White and Black, and highlight the key
tactical and positional ideas. This book provides everything you need to
know to play the Ponziani in your own games.
