LONDON SYSTEM NEW TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nothing new...
It can be played in bullet/blitz one time against an opponent playing too fast or not aware of it.
Then he/she will play 3.Nf3 removing black's fun when h5 was played for nothing except for weakening your position.

Even for beginners I don't think it's a good idea to advocate pushing rook pawns just for the sake of snaring an unaware opponent in a specific line. Something that will make them better in the long run is preferable.

Trap, Trap, telling to beginners!
I really wonder how useful is those traps?
In fact, you dont need to waste time in learning 1000 traps as beginner. You just play sound classical systems, that automatically prevent 99% of those traps.

I think it might just be a fun trap, also players who plays the london system will probably know this trap. (even if they don't I think when their opponent play like this they would notice something's wrong) But it might work in bullet or blitz.


This is interesting, but I think a move like h5 would immediately clue the opponent that there was a plan
Depends on what level u play it and what conditions.
- in blitz/bullet, any opponent (even a GM) playing a premove or too fast (aware or not about this trap) can fall into the trap.
- against beginner or low level, opponent doesn't mind what u play, especially at move 2. Even if he/she is careful, very difficult to see the trap and will probably think h5 is a patzer move (which is right but not for the reason he/she would think!).
So there is some room to play it, but as said before, playing h5 can be fun the first time (maybe the second), no more. The idea is not to improve your play, just to set a nasty trap against opponent who will play automatic move (usual with London players).
So just one shot and then try to play good chess next games...
