In this video, I play two chess games (a few days apart) against lichess user sammartin2021 (2450) in the same opening! While both games start with a queen's pawn opening, they quickly transpose into a variation of the Ponziani Opening (which typically begins with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3). The games feature some high level play and deep strategic thinking. I do my best to play some serious chess while explaining my thought-process. Timestamps below!
