trappy opening

You can play the Budapest Gambit

The Stafford Gambit has the most traps. Sadly because of Eric Rosen it's not as effective. Similar story with the Danish Gambit which has been popularized. There are a few other gambits which have a few traps but most of them have been debunked.

After GothamChess' most recent video I'd also say the Vienna Gambit will soon have a big enough audience that it'll get debunked too.

The most common opening for white is Ruy lopez and you can use a few common traps like fishing pole and noah’s ark.. check out some of them here ... https://youtube.com/channel/UCfBrplys3U5FMAHHkbGmhGg

scandavian is best for white cause you can use bishop b5 to get a free piece

Don't focus on traps, you won't improve.

trappy stuff is all i played for my first few months back in chess. eventully i just started tilting, eventually had to invest in tactics study, endgames. also into a caro course an 1d4. i feel like neglecting endgames an traditional positional chess just leaves holes in my game. its like learning cursive writting befour the abc's

if you try scandanavian in bughouse and don't bring it back quickly, prepare to get screwed.

Can you show us how White can win a piece against the Scandinavian? It must be a novelty.

Also, you can't 'win a piece' if your own piece gets taken. In that case it is just an exchange. You won't be up the material after I block with a piece because we just trade pieces.
