1 Minute Ponziani Trap

[RapsyJigo]

Here's how to make someone delete their chess account

[rsimbanaj]

Opponent: Doesn’t play e5
Me: resigns

[wutansi_]

When I play this, my opponent refuses to go with my plan. How inconsiderate of them.

You know your dead when your opponent promotes to a knight instead of a queen 💀

[boks_]

Started playing this opening and got a brilliancy within two games, thank you Levy

[nelvin]

My 600 elo brain unable to process what I just saw

[lucasvanimpe]

For everyone wondering why you should promote to a knight. Two reasons: 1) it's a fork and you will pick up the queen on the next move
2) If your move isn't forcing (like a check) than black has checkmate on f2 on the next move

[kewltony]

I would never recover emotionally if this happened to me

[spiraldj]

My opponent after I play e4: Plays the Scandinavian Defense

[royaldonut]

Auto-Queen players: proceeds to get mated in one move

[kuoliebizokuotsu]

POV : Opponent forgot to watch this video

[jashanmago]

Opponent: Plays Sicilian

Me: This is not in the script!!!

[dragrace]

Brace yourself my low ELO friends.. the Ponziani is coming

[CaTastrophy]

Gotta love setting up ponziani schemes and then running away as soon as it starts to crumble

[Dycha]

Recently started using this opening without knowing te name or the trap so thank you

[maxvoloshin_nefariousaquarius]

This is so terribly unlikely in an actual game.

[Robinteeken]

Instructions unclear, opponent played one move different now im lost

I only play in person chess, cant threaten a computer to resign with a loaded handgun. Havent lost yet

[captquiggs]

It's a good thing he played knight! If he picked anything else opponent's queen would've taken pawn protected by the knight and its a checkmate on us.

[a.turner]

honestly if this happened to me i’m snapping my phone or computer in half with no hesitation.
