I have a blog now! How to kick it off...

Hello fellow Chess.com people! This is the first post into my blog, and I wasn't sure how to kick it off. I looked through my games to see if I had one to share, and then I saw an interesting one using a trap I played. So today I'm gonna share with you the Legal's Mate.

Well, that's the checkmate I got. It's quite a fun trap, and you don't have to make any risky moves. You just develop normally, and then if your opponent let's you, you seize the moment and play the trapping move.

    Your absolutely true Zithro, but in my 1 year of playing chess, I've been able to use it 3 or 4 times. So it won't be the most common thing, but it's good to be aware of, both from the white side and the black side.

    It's a nice trap, however there are numerous ways to counter it before any of the big moves start to reveal themselves.

    I like it--I get tired of people trying to intimidate me with that lame Bg4 "threat."
