Top three most effective opening traps?

 I believe brillantboy is trying to be funny. I thought it was clever but I think many people missed his humor.

What!?

oh dont bother complimenting me i know my puzzle is amazing

it was forced. what would you have played?

then Black plays bishop  to d8

nothing is much better than 5.Nxf7 eg 5.Ng4 d5!

I suppose your right at this stage white has fallen for the trap.

The Lasker Trap is a nice trap in the Albin. It's very cool as you underpromote a pawn before move 10:

This nice trick (the Traxler) has been used by some GMs. Anand lost a game agaisnt the Traxler, and Shirov won one. There's also a game where Karpov drew with white against the Traxler.

what if at move 5 white playes Ng4? then what happens? i might not be able to see the cintinuation well here cos I'm beginner, but my guess is black will play Nc2 then Qxc2 then Qxg4 then rook to g1, it does not look too bad for white! or is it?

my mistake! i guess black can play d5 here and win either the bishop or the knight!

 Is there a name for this one?

This  happens a lot in the French

 Probably it's the only serious reason to play the Polish

The most beautiful "humorous" opening trap for me is this one (the game is played by correspondence Chess, but unfortunately, i don't remember the Players...but it's real!!) :

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6

After this move, the player with the black pieces say: on any move played by White, i would continue by 3...,Bg7.

Do you find the move for White ?

thats not a trap
