This game is not only real and teaches you about an opening trap, it is entertaining, too.

 You won't believe the ratings

 

*sigh*

this is not checkmate, i'm confused!

                                                      

he resigned!

if 5. . .  Be7 then 6. Qe7+ Qxe7  7. Nxe7  Kxe7

 Black can't castle and the material is even.  Not terrible, but quite a few people wouldn't play this.  Also, Black could have been embarassed by the situation.

how is material even if black blocks with either his queen or bishop the knight takes the queen

Badenstein, black loses the queen here.  I've gotten people with the same trap.  My question is, why do people play Petrov's defence if they don't know this trap?

LOL.  you are right.    Gotta do better at studying the position.

I don't understand this. A player has worked hard enough to become a 1600 (nothing extraordinary, but not a beginner either) and decides to take up a new opening. No matter where he decides to look for info on the Petroff, this trap has to be one of the first things mentioned. Does this mean that the player spent less than 15 min. of research before taking up a new opening in a game? What kind of strategy is that?

Black can play Knight takes Knight right away on move 3 but has to play Queen e7 on the next move. Then when white plays QxN Black plays d6 and wins whites Knight and material is back to close to even(down a pawn instead of losing his queen). 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nxe4 4. Qe2 Qe7

5. Qxe4 d6  6.d4 d6xe5

That game shows a common trap in the russian defense. Black loses his queen to the knight after 5 . Nc6 check  so material is not even there.  Be7 is answered by NxQ. 

Better for black on move 3 is d6 pushing whites Knight back and then black can take whites pawn on e4 without hassles.  

 

you can also do this in the ruy lopez after you castle kingside with the rook

you are blind if you cant se me shrug.

 

True you can get that attack in the ruy lopez but again black has to play very badly. Nxe4  for black in the spanish is very playable(the open variation) but if black does not move his Knight to the correct square after Re1 he is  going to have a very difficult game.

You need to try look more than a normal oppening...sometimes if you are not prepare and don't study why the oponent is doing that.......you miss something and you are "dead"......

there are several classic oppenings.....and most of players go to that way, but sometimes I play with different players and see they are trying to trap me with easy/ending oppenings and if I'm not focus.....I got a problem who take me a lot of time to resolve.... 

 

 

 

Never mind the analysis, vj1 -- let's get to the nub of it.  I just love the feeling when somebody walks into something like that.  Nice one!

me too

My shortest game is  a3 f5, I won check it out ! you will be amazed.

this is my shortest by my opponent's resignation

Black could do Qe7 Qe4 and f6 white  can't stop the Night getting captured by the  pawn.
