Bishop's Opening: Ponziani-Urusov Gambit
edit3... exd4!
editBlack 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.
