Hunting for Opening Traps

Sort:

Hello!. I've been a big fan of traps, especially those that can occur in the opening. Yes, i'm trap hunting. If you know any good ones feel free to post them! I hope this post will be useful especially for lower rated players like me. Gives us an edge if someone falls for them haha. It may also be future reference for stronger players, who knows?

Budapest Defense

Dutch Defense

These were my two favorite, one that benefited black, and one for white.

Why would you play those openings though? Especially the first one!

Well, which openings do you like to play? And what do you mean by who would play those openings? "There are no good of bad openings, just good or bad chess players". 

I actually enjoy playing the Budapest. That, and the Englund Gambit, against d4. Odd huh.

Yes, I really like the Budapest! When in the right mood, it's a blastLaughing

i liked that Budapest defence. is there any move in it that will reverse the trap on us? i like to know that too.. otherwise i might lose blindly playing this opening.
