"Ponziani, as del Rio and Lolli had done, confines his attention to the Opening and the Ending, and leaves the Mid-game untouched. He also follows Lolli's example in dividing his Openings into games for the attack and games for the defence, an unnatural division, since the move which in the former case leads to victory, in the latter leads to defeat, and the reader finds a difficulty in estimating the real value of a line of play. Notwithstanding this, his analysis deserves very high praise, and no later work of the Italian chess with free castling took its place" (Murray, p.869).
