I have been studying the Italian since I lost a OTB Tournament game in 12, yes 12 )': moves

So I went through the game afterwards with one of the coaches who said I should of played 4.c3 . So I decided to research this opening and found this legendary trap!

Another c3 trap

The next two traps are VERY similar.

So here they are

That last trap got played on me in live chess but I managed to refute it because although I took the e5 pawn and that was a mistake, my opponent made a couple mistakes too.

A nice attack here by the man himself!

I will update this thread if I find out about any more traps in the Italian Game :)
