That is a common trap among the 1300-1500 blitz players. The "Elephant Trap, QGD."

Uhm - Post 2 is simply wrong!

Black is up a piece, not White.  Black's winning!

I know the Elephant Trap but I've never seen an opponent fall for it. It's the most easiest trap to spot. It appears out of the Orthodox variation of QGD.

I have tried elephant trap many times and it didn't work against anyone even though I am am <1300.

No Thriller Fan is right.

IM_Arcane posted a diagram which said White was winning!

Which was wrong.

So Thriller told IM_Arcane the diagram was wrong because black is the one who should be winning.

After hearing Thrillers post IM_Arcane said your right "I'll fix that"

So he fixed it by editting the board so that it is no longer wrong.

I haven't got an elephant trap here yet but I've won a lot of blitz games with the Qf3 trap shown above. Two of my opponents followed Qf3 with Qa5+. Oops lol.
