IF you like scary movies, you should watch unfriended on Netflix. It is a very good movie and if you are 15+ you should watch it. if you are under 14 you should not watch for your own safety.

Welcome to my post! Please view videos and subscribe to my channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33hJ7MPPwCk I teach One-to-One on zoom at 20 USD an hour and 10 USD an hour for small group of not more than 6 players. My name is Cengiz Hasman (45 years old) and I am a UK National Master but live in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus and I speak fluent English (with a British accent) and Turkish. After I have found out the goal of my student, I will then construct the lessons accordingly. It might be concentrating on vital middlegame positions, must-know endgames and/or choosing a suitable opening repertoire if required. I recommend daily tactic solving and have a simple but effective suggestion in this regard. I use skype and zoom as well as Houdini and the chess.com analysis board. I have a Fide rating of 2101. I have had good results against many Titled players but now work as a Chess Coach in Cyprus. I have played in the London League on top boards, 4NCL and the North Circular Chess League for Wood Green. In fact, Wood Green won this League a few times after I became captain. I have contributed a lot to my teams in Cyprus winning 1st Division League Titles. I have attended a Coaching Development Course by IM Vladimir Grabinsky, a well known coach. One of my students, an unrated 11 year old achieved a 1700+ elo performance in a tournament in Serbia. I have been coaching for 6 years Thanks in advance! Cengiz

TRAPS AND TRICKS 1. Deadly Trap in Budapest gambit ( brilliant bishop sacrifice !!) BUDAPEST GAMBIT TRAP * Use Budapest gambit trap for a quick win. This is a very sound gambit against d4. It’s the sharp gambit but if you treat this gambit carefully then you are safe. * Strong players use this gambit against beginners and club players for quick results. * Budapest gambit trap is one of the traps which d4 players should prepare, because if white gets into this trap then he needs to resign within 10 moves. * In give trap black's double bishop and a knight sacrifice forces Black's king in a mating net .

Legal trap * The Legal Trap is one of the more common traps that any chess player will come across. This is because it is found in a very common opening and none of the moves made by black look terribly bad on the surface. * As we can see though, black will have to make a choice to take the bait from white and capture the queen, losing the game, or instead go down in material and fight on to see another day. * Anytime a player exposes his queen, it is really hard for the other player not to take it. That is why this trap works so well. Also if they don’t take the bait, you are still in a great position. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/pLVVIToTcFA 6. Elephant trap in Queen's gambit * The Elephant Trap derives from the Queen’s Gambit Declined lines. Black defends the Queens Gambit by simply developing his pawn to e6, keeping the tension on the d5 pawn. White continues to develop his knight and apply even more pressure. * Black then starts to set the elephant trap by developing his own knight to f6, baiting the white bishop to come to f5, pinning the knight down to the queen. Black simply brings his own knight to d7. * At first glance, this move looks like a mistake by black. If white sees this and falls for the trap, though, it will be a huge mistake. * Black can simply sacrifice his own queen with the forced moves that will win back white’s queen and put black in a dominating position. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/bwHI_2AsKRs 7. Rubenstein trap ( trapping queen ) * The Rubinstein Trap is a chess opening trap in the Queen's Gambit Declined, Orthodox Defense. * Black loses a pawn after Nxd5 due to the threat of his queen being trapped on the back rank by White's Bc7. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/5qSFuO4qYBA 8. Bobby's trap in Sicilian defense ( brilliant bishop sacrifice !!) * Bobby Fischer was the first chess player to introduce this trap hence it's name " Bobby's trap ". This trap is played in Sicilian defence as white against black. * Starting with the king pawn opening for white versus the sicilian defense from black, white places his light square bishop on b3 and dares black to move his knight to a5. If black refuses, white still has a solid setup and a good game ahead. Checkout here : https://youtu.be/hAMaH4TNi_s 9. Deadliest bishop pair and rarest queen's sacrifice !!
