This is a long trap lol.

Wow... which part of this is the 'trap'? White is making lots of mistakes to "fall" into this trap.

This is a line from the Traxler defence. I'm not sure it has a name of it's own.

This position arises out of the Two Knights Defence. If Black wish's to avoid the Vicious "Fried Liver Attack", he can reply with this , known as the "Wilkes-Barre" or "Traxler Counter Attack". This Counter-Attack isn't for the feint hearted, the combinations, complications and speculative sacrifices can make your head swim!
I don't believe the Trap has a name. It is just one of many in this insane, wild, free for all of a defence. If you like a Fist Fight, Rumble or Gun Slinging; this would be the Counter Attack for you!
