Birds Eye View Trap

The Bird’s Eye View Trap derives from the Bird’s Opening. When white opens with the bird’s opening of f4, white has a huge weakness on the f2 square and his king is exposed. This trap focuses on that square and gives up a pawn with the intention of laying a trap later on.

After white opens with the Bird’s opening, black starts to bring all his pieces into the action, getting ready for the attack. The first move for black is Nf6. Once white plays Nf3, then black will play d6. Then if white tries to fianchetto his bishop on the queen side, black can set the trap with e5, offering up a pawn sacrifice in exchange for a brutal attack.

Here is the position

WARNING: Once the bishop attacks f2 along with the knight, don't blunder if you are white. These can happen:

1.Bf2# because the king would have nowhere to move and it can't capture the bishop because the knight supports it.

2.Nf2 because this would result in a Queen and Rook fork, and the king can't capture the knight becuase the bishop would guard it. BUT, the queen would not be able to move and the rook would, so there is no choice but to move you rook and you queen would get captured! UH OH!!!!!

Please play this trap if white plays f4!!!(The Bird Opening).
