Laskers Trap

Submitted by legodood on Sun, 05/24/2009 at 6:09pm.

The Lasker Trap is a chess opening trap in the Albin Countergambit, named after Emanuel Lasker.

The Albin Countergambit begins with the moves

1. d4 d5

2. c4 e5

3. dxe5 d4

I would continue to explain this trap but I found a video on youtube that I think can explain this trap better that I can.

I would like to invite you to join my group Supreme Pawns:
