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.

Some things are pretty obvious, like if I capture a queen and my opponent captures a bishop, we both know who is doing better. But some things are not so clear. I try to make analogies when I teach. Some hit the mark, and some confuse the student even more! But before I try to confuse my readers, let us look at standard values: Queen = 9, Rook = 5, Bishop = 3, Knight = 3, Pawn = 1. The king does not have a capture value, since we do not capture the king. (You can’t say, “I captured his knight and two pawns for...
