    Here is a game I just played, and I used a trap to win the game in 14 moves. 

    Enjoy!

    He took the bait, and your bishop at c5 cut off retreat. Nice.

    I prefer 11...Rxh2+ 12.Kxh2 Qh4#, although of course you're still winning after 11...g3.

    In the game, if 12...Kf8 13.Bh5 might last a bit longer.

    I've seen 3. ...Bc5 4. ...Ng4 so many times it may as well be added to the book.  Don't know about anybody else.

    The fishing pole trap is tres cool, but I seem to regret it, or rather my king does, when my opponent refuses to take the bait.  lol

    I think the Ackbar sense more than book knowledge is why most people don't accept my knight sacs. But if they do, they are definitely surprised by the result.

    The 4...Ng4 move has been played against me several times in this Vienna/Petroff variation.  I've castled into it as well as play the rook over.

    Basically the position was resignable after white accepted.

    That was the most godawful game I've played through in the past month.


    Hey, it could have been worse. At least none of the first seven moves was a blunder . . .
