Stop falling for this opening trap

Hello friends,

today I would like to share one of the most popular traps in chess. Whenever I show this to a player who is new to chess, he ends up having many winning positions out of the opening. However, there is a rating point where people just know the trap and defend well against it. In this video I will not only show you the traps that are set by white, but also how to defend against them with black. Stay healthy my friends!

LOL! I've never tried to set this trap and I fell for this trap maybe a half dozen times. Thanks for this video. It reinforces what I have learned through a more difficult process. Now I need to learn how to play the resultant KIDish position Black is left with. Thanks again!
