Sicilian Defense, Queen Sac trap


Really nice one...I will remember this one, because this position comes up from time to time...and most players are gready...including myself:)

Try not to rely on traps-people won't always fall for them. That said, I'm still going to play this in my next game with the Sicillian.

That's sheer nonsense. The winning move for white is 4.Bxf7+, as already indicated.
4.Ne5? is a lemon. After 4...de5 5.Qxg4 Nf6, Black has a good game (approximately equal chances).

how does black have a good game after that?^ its not losing, but it doesnt look too good
1. White's queen has to move again.
2. Black has good central control, which compensates for the slightly compromised pawn structure.
3. The c4 bishop is not particularly useful there.
4. The e5 pawn is not easily touchable, e.g. 6.Qg3 e6 7.Qxe5?! a6 and white is in some trouble.
Why do you think white is better?
How does this compare to 4.Bxf7+ which is winning at once?
