Awesome Video, thanks Ingvar for your insights! :-))
Informative, funny, hilarious and insightful - all at the same time !
obrigado!
The Anastasia trap typically occurs with a queen or rook sacrifice taking h7, followed by a major piece checkmate along the h file. The Knight at e7 controls the retreat squares.
Thanks for the lesson.
i really love the way you gave so many great examples! now i'm going to check out all your videos,and then go over my games to see if me or my opponents missed an anastasia mate ! well done INGVAR !

Great vid - I liked the multiple examples shown, and variations on how to achieve the pattern. I'm looking forward to the other videos in the series.

Great vid. Really enlightening.
Great video!
I can't believe how many times I've had the chance and yet I didn't do it :(
Great video...thanks.
Thank you Ingvar for a great lesson. Two weeks after having watched it once I saw Anastasia three moves ahead and made it happen. Without the video it would not have happened!
thanks for the interesting video-FMIngvar Johannesson....I see how knowing that pattern will be very useful to me.
Great Video, fantastic how it appears you can snatch victory..
