And white thought they had it in the bag...

Here's a similar trap, which also works often against people who haven't fallen for it before. I think beginners miss the diagonal threat of the queen, and the consequences of it landing on g2. Especially if they can win a rook...

 Manchero,would you mind I copy your publish games(the above useful trap games) to my team forum,I think they are helpful and many players like them.And besides,they can improve the level of beginners!

Those are nice traps, but a bit silly. Only players very new to chess would fall for it. How about any more advanced traps that help gain initiative rather than an immidiate checkmate?

Four move checkmate

it's an English saying/turn of phrase; meaning we are getting a good deal from your post, 5 traps for just one post :)
