Quick mates and traps

Here's a short 1 minute match where I may have discovered a new gambit. I'll call it the CPAD Gambit...lol

Enjoy!

I don't know about everyone else, but these opening tips never get old to me. Lately, I've been playing around with this defense against Ruy Lopez. It really seems to surprise a lot of players, because players who play Ruy Lopez are used to having the initiative. Check this one out:

This is a typical Greek Gift Sacrifice:

i'm gonna try this on live chess. it look pretty effective

Here's a nice one.

In a game against an apponent here he took the baits I laid before him. It was over in 14 moves!

A moment of silence for NN. Good post.

I've posted a similar game before, but I want to post this one to reiterate how this can throw off even decent players. 

Here's a good one using the Traxler. Not many times can one win after sacrificing a rook and a bishop.

Another lovely trap! The Fishing Pole

I've seen you play the Blackburne Shilling Gambit Trap before and wondered why instead of playing 7...Nxc2+, you don't play 7...Nf3 mate? 

Good point xD It's even more deadly than I thought....thanks for pointing that out!

This is a sequence that happens a lot. Some of us may not be aware of the trap in the following. Enjoy!

Here's another trap using ideas similar to those of the last post.

I stumbled across this interesting trap. Enjoy!

The next two will be very instructive. This is part one, and it will show what could happen if you move too quickly. Stay tuned for part two.

Here's part two from that previous post.

Believe it or not, but every once and awhile I do actually play openings that are not gambits. Here's a short one with a strange trap. Enjoy!
