Hey everyone,

Today we are going to explore a really sharp line of the Bishop's Opening. 

This line is very critical and it has huge amounts of tactical opportunities. If white plays correctly, black is going to be in serious trouble.

You should not play like this, especially in slow games (rapid/classical/correspondence (daily).. It is highly not recommended.

Also, it will take a lot of tactics to defend or attack in this position, so it is really not suggested for beginners, since one wrong move can result in a series of forced combinations that can cause you to lose.

Let's look at it. I used to chess.com engine to help me, and the analysis is quite long.

If you have any suggestions or extra analysis, please feel free to send them over to me or post them in the comments.

Although this is not an opening trap, it is quite close.

I have CRUSHED opponents who played like this. They thought they could win, but they had to sacrifice their queen, and the loss is totally expected after they gave up their queens.

I have played this on lichess.org as white (REALLY. YOU SHOULD NOT PLAY THIS AS BLACK). Even lichess.org's 2000s got crushed in this position by me.

So please, if you have any analysis, comments, criticisms, or suggestions, please feel free to send them to me or post them.

Thank you. Have a nice day!!!
