[edit] Mid-importance?

Really? Personally I'd be inclined to rate it Low. No one plays the Ponziani these days, and I see no reason to think that it will ever make a comeback. The Ponziani is about as significant as the Grob (1.g4) these days. Krakatoa (talk) 00:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

It was mid before, I only changed it's class to B-Class. Saying that if it wasn't assessed before I'd have most likely gone for Mid although I won't object to a low as for me it's borderline. Remember the readers are mostly not Masters or anything like it and I know that Zeider regularly plays or at least used to play it and it's more common at lower grades.

It may not be a popular opening but no decent chess encyclopedia should be without it:) I think when it comes to openings "low importance" should only be reserved for jokes like 1.Na3 or similar. Pawnkingthree (talk) 08:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
