A Variety of Traps

Here are a few traps.  Not very difficult but could get you into trouble if your opponent is aware of these.  Maybe these are fine for fast games but if a person has lots of time to think, maybe not a good idea?

Good ideas, that is all.

Case after case of why you don't open up your kingside in the opening unless you have a solid grip on positional play.

Rod,

   Thanks for the traps.  They stimulate creative combinations.

Traptastical! Yet, in some of those, blacks moves are in no way forced. But the Lasker trap amuses me every time I see it.

 If you can post some games otherwise, great, give me some time to come up with some moves or games to go along with your comment, by all means please do post some examples.

Thanks,
