In this Blog, I'll tell you some Traps and Tactics with Pieces, so you can win in all difficult matches too....
1.Elephant Trap
The Elephant Trap is a variation in the Queen’s Gambit declined lines where falling into the trap will cost white their queen. It starts with the moves:
1. d4 d5
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5 Nbd7
5. cxd5 exd5 (White might think the black knight on f6 is pinned to the queen but that’s not correct. It’s a trap)
6. Nxd5 Nxd5
7. Bxd8 Bb4+
8. Qd2 Bxd2+
9. Kxd2 Kxd8
Tactics
Absolute Pin
1.Bc4 pins the black queen. The queen can’t escape the pin because it would leave the black king in check. The best black can do is 1… Qxc4, giving up the queen for the bishop. When a piece is pinned to the king, it is referred to as an absolute pin.
Cross Pin
A cross-pin occurs when a piece is pinned from two directions.
Diagram above: 1… Qd2!, a double-attack threatening Qxe1 as well as Bxc3+. White cannot play 2.Bxc2 because the bishop on c3 is absolutely pinned by the black bishop on g7. Note how the white bishop on c3 is pinned in two directions:
- 1… Qd2 2.Bxg7 Qxa5
- 1… Qd2 2.Rf1 Bxc3+
Positional Tactics
A positional advantage is often achieved by means of a tactic that does not win material, but gains a strategic advantage. In the position below white has a bad bishop, whilst black has a good bishop (because the pawn-structure in the center makes the black bishop more active).
Diagram above: 1.Bb4 forces black to allow the exchange of the bishops because black’s bishop is pinned to the rook on f8. This exchange will give white increased control of the c-file, particularly of the c5-square and c7-square. At the same time the rook on c2 now defends the knight on e2
I hope these Traps and Tactics were very useful and Technical so why not give it a try in using them in your games and I 'm 90+% sure you'll win that match. Visit these links and get to know more about Chess....
