Share opening traps

So the attack is holdable if you play perfectly. Stockfish 12 says d6, and Stockfish 12  makes the chess.com engine look like a complete amateur. The idea of d6 is to sacrifice a pawn to divert the queen from the kingside attack, and make it difficult to bring it back after nf7. Stockfish and Leela both say it is the best(both of them are engines that completely destroy the chess.com engine) so I trusted them. Anyway, this is to share opening traps, not to discuss the traxler, so sorry about that.

2 pretty basic traps in the italian.

oh sorry that was not the move order for the noah's arc trap. Here is it.

don't you maen u lose 2 pawns and a rook for nothing?

This is brilliant!

Good trap if your opponent’s IQ is in the negatives

if you are under 600 rating then you might need this

brilliant

I have this King's Gambit Accepted Cunningham's defence position several times a year.

this is a pretty gimmicky one but it's good if they play into your hands

common tactic in d4-d5 openings.

opening trap in 1. d4 d5 e3, and the knight should've gone to the "happy square" on f3, but when he went to e2, he smothered his king and blocked the light squared bishop, and knight to b4 double attacks c2, and rook c1 is the only way to guard c2. If you push, Nc2+ wins the queen. But if rook to c1, Bxc2 traps the queen. If rook takes, Nd3# is smothered mate.

great!

really cool trap from the king's gambit

White will capture the bishop with his pawn, black can't take the pawn with knight because of Qe1+. Instead, black will play d5 and the bishop will have to retreat to d3 and the game will go on. Another line is for white not to capture the bishop immediately and instead play d5.

Regardless, the Evans gambit is just better.

bruh black played like a 200 so it isn't really a trap
