Have you seen other articles like this but the chances of reaching the trap's position is 1 in 1 million? Fortunately, I made a list of opening traps that have a good chance of being reached early in the opening, won't ruin your position if they don't fall for it, and can be fallen for even at the club level.

1. Noah Ark's Trap (Ruy Lopez, Morphy Defence, Modern Steinitz Defence)

2. Legal's Trap (Philidor's Defence

3. Cambridge Springs Trap or Elephant Trap (Queen's Gambit Declined, Modern, Knight defence)

4. Lasker trap (Albin Countergambit)

5. Blackburne-Schilling Trap (Italian game)

6. Englund Gambit Trap (Englund Gambit)

7. Sicilian French Variation Trap (Sicilian Defence, French Variation)

8. Sicilian Delayed Alapin Trap (Sicilian Defence, Delayed Alapin)

9. Queen's Gambit Accepted Trap (Queen's Gambit Accepted, Old Variation)

10. Kieninger Trap (Budapest Gambit)

11. Mortimer Trap (Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defence, Mortimer Variation)

12. Magnus Smith Trap (Sicilian Defence, Classical Variation)

13. Fischer Trap (Sicilian Defence, Accelerated Dragon)

14. Old Benoni Trap (Old Benoni Gambit Accepted)

15. Queen's Amidala's Trap (Queen's Indian Defence)

16. Russian Game Trap (Russian Game, Damiano Variation)

17. Owen's Defence Trap (Owen's Defence)

18. Sicilian Lowenthal Trap (Sicilian Defence, Lowenthal Variation
