Bishop's Opening: Ponziani-Urusov Gambit edit

3... exd4! edit

Black strongest and natural response is to accept the gambit with 3...exd4. This is the best option against the Urusov Gambit, accepting the sacrificed d4-pawn.

If Black know what has to be done, they will reach an equal or even slightly better position.
