Practice the Ponziani Opening against ...Nf6, ...d5, ...Nge7, and the ...f5 countergambit. Follow 8 lines from our Ponziani Opening guide, try 16 board exercises, and play six positions against the bot.
Study eight guide lines: four from White's point of view and four from Black's. They cover the ...Nf6 piece offer, the ...Ne7 retreat, both 3...d5 queen lines, the ...Nge7 center, the ...f5 counter-gambit, the ...d6 warning, and the queen-sacrifice king march.

Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Ponziani Opening guide. The guide's five test positions are answered by dxc6 (-0.49), ...h6 (+0.24), ...Nd4 (+0.33), e5 (-0.14), and Bxc6+ (-1.54).
The 16 boards test the d5 tempo, safe material collection, queen pressure, central breaks, the counter-gambit, and two forcing king hunts.

Choose one of six starting positions and set the bot from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on eleven key moments, including the c3 position, the ...Nxe4 tabiya, the ...Bc5 offer, the ...Ne7 exchange, both 3...d5 moments, the ...Nge7 break, the counter-gambit, and both major traps.
The six starts contain the main Ponziani position, book lines for the ...Nf6, ...d5, ...Nge7, and ...f5 book branches, plus the Bxc6+ queen-raid position. Every goal pair names opposite results for the same original pieces or pawns.
