Center Game Trap (for black)

Hello fellow smart chess.com members, I want you to look at this trap for black from the Center Game Opening:  Of course you are unlikely to run into this exact position, but it does hold a pretty common type of sacrifice in grandmasters game, I'm sure you'll learn from this.  White's mistake was blocking the black bishop check with a pawn, (he should have blocked with a bishop, because the pawn was defending an important forking square):  

Summary:  Watch the game, read the description here, and comment please!

Nice post !

I now have another reason why to stick to the choice of 4.Qd1 in such opening.

i think if white plays the center game more like the center counter game (the scandinavian, an opening i study extensively) this trap won't work

Hmm.. isn't the right response Bd2? .. not c3 ..

Hahah Bc4 thats stupid 

White should play the Danish Gambit so he doesn't lose tempos by moving his queen around.  

nice, i have a quick question guys. How do you move a pawn?

go to advanced section

Backwards

With your hand is the normal method.

Just out of interest, why didn't white play the more logical 8. Qe2? And why did white play such a terrible opening in the first place??

Some people are pretty clever with their feet..

I was afraid to see another trap like this :

Which of course never happens...

Same as the game showed here, although Bxf2 with 2 forks possible next (Nxe4 or Nd3) is a useful pattern to know.

But indeed, all this is unlikely to occur, everyone plays for Nc3-Bd2...

Why should white play such an idiotic opening? Has it ever been played in serious chess by a GM? It's the sort of thing that beginners do in blitz on Chess.com.

It has been played all the way up to the 6th move by white by 2000s in 2004
