CHESS TRAPS
Sort:
Ignore the naysayers....
Doesn't matter where you get the traps from...
The point is that publishing them here is interesting and helpful...

I don't think you can steal the traps - the moves that is; only the annotations, if any exist, are property.
This happens a lot on the Fried Liver Attack; black will block with pawn then at one point you sac your N, he takes with King then you check with Queen and doubles as protection so you can take N with your B. The aside is sometimes in blitz game he will tuck his K up next to Rook, then game over. Usually he will back it up next to Q, then you take N with Bishop and whatever he does with his Q (unless he moves correctly to d7), you take his other N with Bishop and often can get a fork on his K and Rook. This whole thing goes down like this quite often. (When you check his K with your Q, the correct move is Ke6 but he seldom does this. If he does? Then move your other N to c3 to support your attack. Normally you'll end up taking his N with your B and a mate is looming. Gets his K out in the center and he's all messed up.)
I stand corrected. Duh. ( was thinking if Black Q moved right in front of his K) So 10. QxQ and I think White is a pawn up, can still castle, Black can no longer. Thanks Jgniu and Batgirl.
They all great traps. 
I believe the name of that trap is the "basic pin." lol
Trap against fried liver. I don't know what it's called but I always use it
s use it
That's called the Fritz Counter Attack I believe. Deadly and fun for black, Dog.

Here a little trap that does work sometimes, I mean, for real. Last time, OTB, my opponent rated 1600+ reflected 5 minutes before to fall for it. The thing with this trap, is that it doesn't hurt you if it doesn't work!
It's KIA (King's Indian Attack) vs Sicilian Defense, in case you wondered.
Nice one France. Here's one with the KGA (King's Gambit Accepted) Also called the Bishop Gambit, often used by the man himself.
nice

This was my first (and to this date, only) loss in under 10 moves OTB. When a player from the game next to me witnessed it, he leaned over and whispered to me, "If it makes you feel any better, I saw a master lose in that exact same way." It didn't.
4..Nd7 seems like an unusual move.

It does look strange but it's very playable and solid. It's been alternatively called the Steinitz, Smyslov, and the Karpov Variation. 5. Qe2 is not a main-line idea for White but Black still has to know about it and play either Ndf6 or e6.

unusual?
4...Nd7 is one of the 3 logical moves here : Bf5, Nd7, Nf6.
Black wants to play Nf6 without having doubled pawns (though Nf6 right away is a main line but Bf5 and Nd7 are more popular).
Traps are only good if set with good moves.
Here Qe2 is just bad. What do u do with your queen if your opponent just see the trap and plays simply e6 or Cdf6?
Replying to save this thread. Thanks so much for the contribution!
