A fun one that might happen to you,

I do not know how to in-game comment, so I will just do it here. It is more common to take back with the knight in the Blackmar-Diemer, but we take with the queen. it looks like long castling is a horrible blunder because of Bg4, skewering the queen and the rook, but after Nb5, every move is losing for black. If they take your Queen, Nxc7 is mate. If they play e5 to try to free up some squares for the king, Nc7+, king's only way of escaping is Ke7, then we play QxB7, and if the queen takes the queen, then there is another mate in 1. the best thing black can do is to take the knight with their queen, we take back with check, then we save our queen. The Halosar trap is a nightmare to play against.

I asked Chopin he said no

This is Bobby Fischer's trap (after the knight moves to try and trade) in the accelerated dragon which either wins the queen or ends in mate.

Another one:

Meant black in,"white's only feasible way"

Thanks guys

@isaacw the first one white hangs a knight and black doesn't take it, in the second black plays ilogical moves

@gregory nice one I love the blacmar-diemer

@money_waves good shout the Fischer trap but next time try to only post until he wins the queen or mate and add variations, keep it brief thumbup.png

@gregory (2) Yes I play that myself, Kf8 is another move but so hard to fine, I'll show you guys what he means:

Why not 5.Kf3?

You mean Nf3? (because knight is written with a N because K is king)

Then this happens:

That's a great one. This line can still be tricky though:

In the end you're up a knight for a pawn and it is enough to win but it's hard to stay accurate. It's also hard to stay accurate for Black of course but these lines are things you have to be wary for.

Nd4 seems to have a very high win rate for Black, even though White wins a pawn it has to suffer in development.

d5 also seems interesting as long as you can work your way around the center where White will undoubtedly reign. For example..

Although White is up two pawns this is a very tense position for White compared to Black. The engine gives White a comfortable position here but it looks far from it.

No, this was some analysis I did.

By the way I still haven't received a third number. I've only shared two traps so far grin.png

This is a trap in the Traxler that you'll never ever play because no one plays 6. Ke2, but some guy called Joerg Reinisch did this against Traxler of all people, so then you know who peed his pants after the match...

This is the Bogoljubow Trap. A line that virtually no one plays anymore but if you try to play a thousand times you may get it once.
