Win Fast with The Bishops Opening! Ponziani Gambit!!

[@KyleSzklenski]

My friend that taught me chess in college played nothing but this opening until eventually I figured it out and began crushing him. Good memories. I will buy your course.

[@glennandrews7689]

"say goodbye to your Lady, baby!" ~ LOL! Great video as always and one of the very best chest instructors/coaches out there.

[@RaptureReady2025]

I have studied all of Big Mio’s Bishops opening, urusov, nakhmansun videos and have a real edge with this opening. This is my go to number 1 opening for white and gotten me from 1100 to 1300. I also study chessable courses to improve my development. I look forward to the NEW chessable course Big Mio!!! Thanks! 💪🏼👏

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot Mark!

[@theflyingguillotine420]

5:33 The gambit starts.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Why do I have feeling that you should fly away from the channel and videos?

[@giorgiodovas3088]

Great work Mio, keep it up! 👍

[@djmsr]

Dolby Stereo sounds like :) it is loud enough and clear so that's the most important to me.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks 😊

[@erwincabrido7611]

Thanks as always Mio and congrats! I have no doubt you will get your GM norm soon. I look forward to your new Chessable course. I bought your Butcher the Sicilian course and it helped me win a lot of games.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot, Bishop’s will be even better! More of text…💪💪💪

[@christoptosis364]

Glad you had a good vacation and tournament and happy Big Mio is back! Videos like this really tempt me to adopt the opening. I’m sure I’ll be getting your course when it’s out!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you so much Chris! Get ready for our chess journey 👍

Can't wait for the course to be released! Appreciate your great work Mio. Knowing you as a good coach and writer will try Bishops for sure. The Butcher Sici works smoothly :)

Thanks Stefi 👍

Got your Bishop's Opening from Chessable, it is dope. You rule. Thanks for creating a space to teach me how to play e4, finally.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Bradley! Hope you will have success with it! 👍

[@texasAUtiger]

Always love your videos and look forward to your course!

[@bortje100]

Great stuff as always! The one thing I always run into is the following; 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d4 Nxe4 4. dxe5 d5? (Which makes absolutely no sense) 5. Bxd5 and after this Knight on e4 + Bxf7 are problems for black which can not be solved!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Haha, good one!

[@lordfloz2952]

I can't wait for the course I play bishops opening because of you

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot! You will like it a lot, I tried to put the text on almost every single move!

[@abracadabra2505]

I love ur way to play. Great stuff and great work 👍👍👍👍 this gambit is not so easy to play with black when you are a beginner. Therefore I study your videos hoping to get better. I really hope you get a GM very soon. For me you really deserve this title. GO FOR It 💪💪💪💪

[@rontiffany7366]

Another great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you Ron, hope you will win many games with it 💪

[@tirteo]

In the 3...Nxe5 4...Bc5 line, don't you prefer the straight 5.Bxf7+? In the 3...Nxe5 4...Qh4 I prefer 5.Qf3 Ng5 6.Qf4 line. In the 3... Nxe5 4...Nc5 I prefer 5.Bf4 Ne6 6.Bg3 putting pressure on d6, trying to avoig black playing that which would restrict his position a lot.

[@mannycastel5997]

nice bishop opening

[@xo7151]

Hey Mio, ur videos are nice as always. As a suggestion lemme ask about a posible Advanced Sicilian Dragon video that i saw you use once in a blitz video!!. Ive been playing it since i was 2100

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Which line is that?

[@xo7151]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Bc4 by white is a very fun game for black, tho i saw you play Bd7 againts O-O-O, Either line coming from you will be amazing!!

[@songsbyeeddie-topic7980]

when is the course coming out! thank you btw

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

19th of August! 😉

What about 4... Bb4+ as recommanded in this course: 1.e4 e5!: A Comprehensive Black Repertoire against 1.e4 on chessable

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

It will be covered as a fun part of the Course within Urusov gambit, and as main recommendation I gave 3.d3! Enjoy! 💪💪💪

[@jongler9775]

I wonder myself : I we get our rating up with some gambits and tricks... does it really mean we are getting better ? I really don't know.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good question, but yeah, you do get better, if nothing else your self confidence raise and that is really important in chess and life too!

[@theogantos2664]

You could do a video with the title BigMio Channel News Update or similar in the future. We want to keep up with the news!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good idea Theo, thanks 👍

[@niravapurv4578]

At 15:26 I cant find the mate, ofc its still lost for black. But after d6 the king will escape and might end at b7 or b8. Additionaly it seems 8.Ng5 is a blunder, loosing a winning advangate. The idea is right but white has to play 8.Bb3 to save the bishop first.. then white possition is totaly crushing. h6 from black was a terrible mistake comming from a grandmaster. Nxc5 from black would have neutrilized the attack more or less totaly. Qxd6 from you was brilliant.

[@stolensoul2355]

8.Ng5 Nxc4 9.Qd5! Black cannot stop the mate

[@niravapurv4578]

@@stolensoul2355 I think if after whites Ng5 (15:17); if Nxc4, Qd5, black can play knight back to d6 to protect f7 no? Perhaps we can harass this defender with Bf4. But i guess black can harass us back with h6, attacking our attacking knight on g5? And if we take with Bxd6, black can take with pawn; hxg5. So we seems to be a officer down and i still dont see the mate. We could take knight on e7, and black has to take back with bishop.. we could get an emense preasure on that bishop, it has 2 defenders. We have the rook. And queen can be added in one move.. our knight could enter the attack in 2 moves... If we can win back the officer white is probably much better, blacks double pawns on d file looks bad... and if black can't stop white knight from b1 to land on d5, he would be in trouble. I think tho, perhaps Black can get out of the pin in time with Kf8.. that king does look suspicious, but black is still up one officer, certainly i did not find a mate. But i did not check with computers. Did i miss something?

[@niravapurv4578]

Well perhaps at 15:26 its gone end in a mate anyway?... after black play d6, line might continue Qxf7+, Kd7, Bd6+, Kc6, Qf3+, and i dont know where the black king should go, but its definitly on the wrong side of its pawns. White has to cheek it around so that the pawns dont go forward to create escape squares. White has both bishops ready, a knight and a rook that can enter the attack in 2 moves. Probably should be a mate.. but its gone take some moves after Qd5.

at 6:15 - if black goes d6, and then the pawns trade . I sacrifice my Be7+ . and if he goes Kxe7 . free queen

6:12 Are you kidding me? Why straight up exchange queens when you can play Bf7+! and the bishop is untakable??
