Quick mates and traps

"Bxf7 followed by Qb3 snatching the bishop is one option."

Here's another game I played with this continuation:

Wow.  I didn't even look at it that deep!  Didn't realize there were mate threats!  lol

Pete, I know you'll like this one.

I like some of these tricks I'm going 2 try a few of them out in my new games & c if they work 4 me!

Sadly, I have fell victim to this one too lol.  (since I play the Nf3 lines too) lol.

HELLO, I HAVE BEEN PLAYING CHESS AT LEAST 40YRS AND I LOVE THE GAME STILL. THESE TRAPS AND PITFALLS ARE DEFINETLY IN MY LIFE. WITH MY AGE I CAN SIT DOWN AND STILL LEARN MORE.

GOD  BLESS U ALL

I was exploring the games of an opponent I'm playing, and I found this one. Remarkably, his happens to be the highest rated player that my opponent has beaten. Enjoy.

It's fun to try these 'tricks' out in your own games, but the primary reason we post these is so that our group members can avoid these traps and tactics.

Just finished this match on the NEW live chess here on Chess.com. Has anyone tried it out?

good job guys, all the posts are worth learning from!!

this is really good for me, i have weak opennings

Here's a good one for those who like to play King's Gambit.

Hey, what's up? Nobody's posting stuff anywhere. I'm sure we've been playing. We must have something to share with the group.

Anyway, here's a nice little surprise against the French Defense. Enjoy!

This forum is simply the best!

More Traxler Countergambit stuff. I would recommend everyone try out this aggressive counter attacking system for black. If anyone knows boxing history, then you'll understand what I'm about to say. Playing the Traxler Countergambit is like the 1st round of Hearns vs. Hagler. Enjoy this example:

Hmmm...does anyone else in this group have anything to offer this forum?

Here's a short game with the Falkbeer Countergambit. Enjoy.

Check out this fun game. I apologize in advance that this game is a little beyond 15 moves. Enjoy!

Has it occurred to anyone that the last posted game by someone other that 'Head_Hunter' was in February of 2009? The are plenty of comments, which are appreciated, but there must be better participation as far as posting matches. I don't wanna call names, but there are some strong chess players in this group who don't contribute anything but comments on someone else's posts. Come on, people. Where's my sistahs? I know there's some ladies here that play well enough to contribute some matches.

Here's a violent game that ended with the 15 move limit. Enjoy!
