In this trap, Black plays the Lasker-Pelikan Variation of the Sicilian Defense, and White falls into a tactical sequence by capturing the pawn on a6 with 14. bxa6. Black can then play 14...Qa5+ followed by 15...Qxa6, winning the bishop on a6 and gaining a significant material advantage.

These traps can be effective if your opponent is not familiar with them, but always remember that strong chess play involves sound opening principles, piece development, and overall strategy. Traps should complement your understanding of chess rather than serve as the sole basis for your opening repertoire.
