one of my favorite traps. always a good one to use in a blitz match
Mortimer Trap in the Ruy LopezMortimer Trap in the Ruy Lopez

Yes, the 4...Ne7 line is trappy. I have never played it, preferring 4...Bc5 and finding my own off-the-wall trap.

The Mortimer trap is no big deal and better players won't fall for it but I thought it will be useful if I post it.I found interesting videos on youtube so more will come...Enjoy:
