Fantastic. Seemed like pretty powerful ponziani counterattack ...Eric givess a course in patience and tenacity

as someone with 282 ponziani games on lichess and a 66% winrate as white, and only 40% against this, i can confirm this is a nightmare to play against.

I always start learning the ponziani, get rekt for a few games, forget about it for 6 weeks, rinse and repeat...

He's a magician. Its incredible how Eric got out of this situation with 3 seconds left and kept his calm. Fun to see.

I appreciate the effort to explain every move, even when in a time crunch

Analyzing this game with an engine and it’s possible sidelines is awesome, can recommend (opponent had mate in 4 in one point)

Got lost in my own analysis

That’s insane, when engine says 0.00 it generally doesn’t understand the position, so you can play 5 best moves according to the computer and suprisingly engine will say black is winning

@lucasmatsuoca

It doesn't mean "it doesn't understand the position", it thinks blacks has Full compensation or found a forced perpetual check line, engines are not programmed to give "i don't understand it" analysis, especially SF, a "brute force calculator" engine. Only thing is that in those positions there are many crazy moves that could be discarded by the algorithm and it was eventually a very good move with deep analysis.

@thec7889

it understands the position more than any of us could ever dream of doing, and it sees a prepetual check in a line and whoever tries to avoid the prepetual would be worse so the prepetual is considerd best play by both sides. occationaly it could allso mean a trade down to a tablebase drawn position if it has tabelbases enabled.

@@thec7889 I wouldnt say it understands the position. Engine just evaluates it by looking at specific lines and thats why it says +2 or -3. This is why engines were so bad at openings for such a long time. Now they are pretty good but mainly because they have book lines programmed into them and we can run them with enormous depth

cxd4 Rab8 Qxb8 Rxb8 Kxf2 and 3 pieces and rook for the queen is enough, White seems already winning in this position. Qc2+ Nd2 may hold, Qd3+ Kxf2 too and any other move looks too slow to me. Still the best practical try

I just had an ad on this video about a gambit and i watched the entire vid

At 2:42, can you sac your queen for the bishop and knight? It’s four pieces for a queen and two pawns? Or is the fact that your king is exposed a problem?

great video, thx

crazy line

7:52 after Bishop take Knight white is just losing

Heh. Bongziani.

How do you remain so calm which such little time left on the clock

It’s so a joy to watch

Why didn’t black play Nxf2 instead of Bxf2+? 0:37

Down two pieces and computer shows -0.1

0:37 why wouldnt he take with his knight instead since it puts a fork?

The chess board looks like it's on fire, and Eric is quoting The Life of Brian with a resting heartrate of 60. Is there a Rosen Award for that? 🍕

While a don't think the Ponziani is any good for white, I appreciate the effort to explain some lines here.

because I think white can respond with queen d5, you lose a rook, take the bishop, then the knight is stuck in that corner for basically the rest of the game
